More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Success is hastened or delayed by one's habits.
Paramahansa Yogananda
How you all will change the work after I am gone. If I came back a hundred years from now, I just wonder if I would even recognize it.
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
So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
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
We are what we think we are. The habitual inclination of our thoughts determines our talents and abilities, and our personality. So whatever you want to be, start to develop that pattern now.
Paramahansa Yogananda
We should bathe our spirits in the deep, pure feeling that stirs within us when we gaze on the glories of His creation. This is the way to know God as beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Those persons who have perceptive eyes enjoy beauty everywhere.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself. Then, you will find others responding in like manner to you.
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 your dream-born mortal weakness. Wake up and know that you and God are one.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The seeker of God is the real lover of vidya, unchangeable truth all else is avidya, relative knowledge.
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
As water by cooling and condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form. Everything in the universe is thought in material form.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The purpose of the guru is not to weaken your will. It is to teach you secrets of developing your inner power, until you can stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds.
Paramahansa Yogananda
All Nature will commune with you when you are in tune with God. Realization of this truth will make you a master of your destiny.
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
As you forget self in service to others, you will find that, without seeking it, your own cup of happiness will be full.
Paramahansa Yogananda
A wish is a desire without energy
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you worry, there is static coming through your mind radio. God's song is the song of calmness. Nervousness is the static calmness is the voice of God speaking to you through the radio of your soul.
