More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda

Think of Divine Abundance as a mighty, refreshing rain. Whatever receptacle you have at hand will receive it. If you hold up a tin cup, you will receive only that quantity. If you hold up a bowl, that will be filled. What kind of receptacle are you holding up to Divine Abundance?
Paramahansa Yogananda
I don't want people to think that they can attain realization simply by listening to others or by reading books. They must practice what they read and hear.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The entire universe is God's cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles through reincarnation mankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely with one's current role, rather than with the movie's director, or God.
