More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
Happiness lies in making others happy, in forsaking self-interest to bring joy to others.
Paramahansa Yogananda
A saint is a sinner who never gave up.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
To love those that love you is easy. To love those that love you not is not so simple. If you want to change anyone, set a better example. Show more kindness, more understanding, more love. That has a sure effect. To those who are not kind, show kindness. To those who are mean, show bigness of heart.

Paramahansa Yogananda
I don't want people to think that they can attain realization simply by listening to others or by reading books. They must practice what they read and hear.
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

Paramahansa Yogananda
Meditation is like giving a hug to our ourselves, getting in touch whith that awesome reality in us. While meditating we feel a deep sense of intimacy with God, a love that is inexplicable.
Paramahansa Yogananda
God is love. His plan for creation can only be rooted in love. Does not that simple thought, rather than erudite reasoning, offer solace to the human heart?
Paramahansa Yogananda
Divisions are imaginary lines drawn by small minds.
Paramahansa Yogananda
