More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
As God is omnipresent in the cosmos but is undisturbed by its variety, so man, who as a soul is individualized Spirit, must learn to participate in this cosmic drama with a perfectly poised and equilibrated mind.
Paramahansa Yogananda
He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
He who has realized oneness with God possesses all knowledge contained in Him. Knowing the Lord as Beginning and End of all beings and worlds, a true Brahmin has knowledge of the hereafter and of the workings of nature on this plane of existence.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you came into this world you cried, whereas everyone else rejoiced. During your lifetime, work and serve in such a way that when it is time for you to leave this world, you will smile at parting while the world cries for you. Hold this thought and you will always remember to consider others above yourself.
Paramahansa Yogananda
We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage obeying the soul brings liberation.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you exercise your will power you release the power of life energy - not when you merely wish passively to be able to obtain an objective.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is foolish to be afraid of death. Just think. No more repaired tires on the body vehicle, no more patchwork living.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you yearn for God with intensity, He will come to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Smiling away your troubles requires a clear conscience that harbors no insincerity.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Thought is the primary energy and vibration that emanated from God and is thus the creator of life, electrons, atoms, and all forms of energy.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Little stones that are pelted into the lake of consciousness should not throw the whole lake into commotion.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As you find your soul-reservoir of peace, less and less controversy will be able to afflict your life.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Always remember, nothing can touch you if you inwardly love God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
