More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Seek spiritual riches within. What you are is much greater than anyone or anything else you have ever yearned for.
Paramahansa Yogananda
In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Intuition is soul guidance, appearing naturally in man during those instants when his mind is calm.
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
It is foolish to be afraid of death. Just think. No more repaired tires on the body vehicle, no more patchwork living.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Keep puffing on the bubble until it breaks its confining walls and becomes the sea of joy.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Work for god, love god alone, and be wise with god. When an ordinary man puts the necessary rime and enthusiasm into meditation and prayer, he becomes a divine man.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Find god - he isn't hiding from you, you're hiding from him.
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
The wave is the same as the ocean, though it is not the whole ocean. So each wave of creation is a part of the eternal Ocean of Spirit. The Ocean can exist without the waves, but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda.
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The greatest romance is with the Infinite.
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
Spirit vibrated into matter hence, both Spirit and matter exist. Matter, however, does not exist in the way that it appears to us. It exists as we see it owing to the delusive force of maya, which makes the indivisible Spirit seem finite and divisible to all appearances. Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It doesn't matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour, once you light a match it is illuminated.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The best methods are those which help the life energy to resume its inner work of healing
Paramahansa Yogananda
Absolute, unquestioning faith in God is the greatest method of instantaneous healing. An unceasing effort to arouse that faith is man's highest and most rewarding duty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Those persons who have perceptive eyes enjoy beauty everywhere.
Paramahansa Yogananda
We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings.
Paramahansa Yogananda
