More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Just behind the darkness of closed eyes shines the light of God. When you behold that light in meditation, hold onto it with devotional zeal. Feel yourself inside it: That is where God dwells.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Have the unflinching determination to move on your path unhampered by limiting thoughts of past errors.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Change your life by changing your thoughts.
Paramahansa Yogananda
From joy people are born for joy they live in joy they melt at death. Death is an ecstasy, for it removes the burden of the body and frees the soul of all pain springing from body identification. It is the cessation of pain and sorrow.

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
It is a great mistake to regard a certain object as pleasurable in itself and to store the idea of it in the mind in hope of fulfilling a want by its actual presence in the future. If objects were pleasurable in themselves, then the same dress or food would always please everyone, which is not the case.
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
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
By the practice of meditation, you will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Do your best and then relax.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Divisions are imaginary lines drawn by small minds.
Paramahansa Yogananda
I am a spark from the Infinite. I am not flesh and bones. I am light.
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
He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
