Image
In that power of self-control lies the seed of eternal freedom.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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
Image
God made us angels of energy, encased in solids - currents of life dazzling through a material bulb of flesh.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Some people try to be tall by cutting off the heads of others.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
No action is ever an isolated event. Always, it invites from the universe a reaction that corresponds exactly to the type and the force of energy behind the deed.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Forget your dream-born mortal weakness. Wake up and know that you and God are one.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony. Never get angry, for anger poisons your system.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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
Image
As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
One cannot tell when he is going to be healed, so do not try to set an exact time limit. Faith, not time, will determine when the cure will be effected.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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
Image
Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Happiness lies in making others happy, in forsaking self-interest to bring joy to others.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Sing songs that none have sung, think thoughts that ne'er in the brain have rung, Walk in paths that none have trod, weep tears as none have shed for God, Give peace to all to whom none other gave, Claim him your own who's everywhere disclaimed. Love all with love that none have felt and Brave the battle of life with strength unchained.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
You must not let your life run in the ordinary way do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God's creative principle works in you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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
Image
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
Image
In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.
