Paramahansa Yogananda
It is not a pumping-in from the outside that gives wisdom it is the power and extent of your inner receptivity that determines how much you can attain of true knowledge, and how rapidly. You can quicken your evolution by awakening and increasing the receptive power of your brain cells.
Paramahansa Yogananda
