More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept!
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
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
As God talked with Arjuna, so will He talk with you. As He lifted up the spirit and consciousness of Arjuna, so will He uplift you. As he granted Arjuna supreme spiritual vision, so will He confer enlightenment on you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The body is only a garment. How many times you have changed your clothing in this life, yet because of this you would not say that you have changed. Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change. You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda

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
If God calls me tomorrow I will go without a moment's turning back.
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
Divisions are imaginary lines drawn by small minds.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Through Self-realization man becomes aware of true values as to his place in the divine plan and his relation to the past, present, and future of mankind.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Love is the Song of the Soul singing to God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.

Do not think of yourself as the body, but as the joyous consciousness and immortal life behind it.
Paramahansa Yogananda
