Paramahansa Yogananda
If God calls me tomorrow I will go without a moment's turning back.
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
Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.
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 sun shines equally on diamond and charcoal, but the former has developed qualities that enable it to reflect the sunlight brilliantly, while the latter is unable to reflect the sunlight. Emulate the diamond in your dealings with people. Brightly reflect the light of God's love.

Paramahansa Yogananda
Ever-new Joy is God. He is inexhaustible as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging Him for any other happiness He is seductive beyond thought of competition.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
Truths are more than imagination they are real. Yet their origin is a thought in the mind of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing God to express through me His perfect love, peace, and wisdom.
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
Births and deaths are inevitable for man only during the state of ignorance in which he thinks he is the body and cannot exist without it. Only the man who will not seek the awakening of wisdom must suffer the nightmares and delusive dreams of births and deaths and the fanciful miseries and limitations attending them. (gt)
