More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Do your best and then relax. Let things go on in a natural way, rather than force them.
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
Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Discerning placement of a comma does not atone for a spiritual coma.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As you find your soul-reservoir of peace, less and less controversy will be able to afflict your life.
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
Keep puffing on the bubble until it breaks its confining walls and becomes the sea of joy.
Paramahansa Yogananda
I am calmly active, actively calm. I am the prince of peace sitting on a throne of poise, directing the kingdom of my activity.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. . . Live each moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man's slavery
Paramahansa Yogananda
I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing God to express through me His perfect love, peace, and wisdom.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Coercion or compulsion never brings about growth. It is freedom that accelerates evolution.
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
You are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Be honest with yourself. The world is not honest with you. The world loves hypocrisy. When you are honest with yourself you find the road to inner peace.
Paramahansa Yogananda
One may have many teachers, but only one guru, who remains as one's guru even in many different lives, until the disciple reaches the final goal of emancipation in God. You must remember this, once that relationship is formed.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Consider no one a stranger. Learn to feel that everybody is akin to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Fear was given to man as a cautionary device to spare him pain it is not mean to be cultivated and abused.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Success is hastened or delayed by one's habits.
