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.

More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization means to know truth through yourself, and not through others. By seeking God first, through Self-realization, all things-strength, power, prosperity, wisdom, health, and immortality-will be added unto you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Every morning I offer my body, my mind and any ability that I posses, to be used by Thee, O infinite creator, in whatever way Thou dost choose to express Thyself through me. I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. If, then you experience mental resistance during meditation, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego it doesn't belong to the soul.
Paramahansa Yogananda
May Thy Love shine forever on the sanctuary of my devotion. And may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Love is the Song of the Soul singing to God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Do your best and then relax. Let things go on in a natural way, rather than force them.
Paramahansa Yogananda
An artist doesn't really create anything - he just rearranges what is already there.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.
Paramahansa Yogananda
In that power of self-control lies the seed of eternal freedom.
Paramahansa Yogananda
One cannot tell when he is going to be healed, so do not try to set an exact time limit. Faith, not time, will determine when the cure will be effected.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is a great mistake to regard a certain object as pleasurable in itself and to store the idea of it in the mind in hope of fulfilling a want by its actual presence in the future. If objects were pleasurable in themselves, then the same dress or food would always please everyone, which is not the case.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Never neglect what you can do for yourself in the form of another.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.
Paramahansa Yogananda
You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you
Paramahansa Yogananda
Smiling away your troubles requires a clear conscience that harbors no insincerity.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The reality of my life cannot die for I am indestructible consciousness.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! control the present! Live supremely well now! This is the way of the wise.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Be honest with yourself. The world is not honest with you. The world loves hypocrisy. When you are honest with yourself you find the road to inner peace.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
