More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.
Paramahansa Yogananda
May Thy Love shine forever on the sanctuary of my devotion. And may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
The seeker of God is the real lover of vidya, unchangeable truth all else is avidya, relative knowledge.
Paramahansa Yogananda
In meditation...the power of God begins to reflect in the clear waters of your consciousness.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The entire universe is God's cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles through reincarnation mankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely with one's current role, rather than with the movie's director, or God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Feel the love of God then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
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)
Paramahansa Yogananda
Through every trial we grow. All suffering we experience has a meaning. Though it seems very cruel, it is like the fire that smelts the iron ore: the steel that emerges from that furnace is beautifully strong, useful for many purposes.
Paramahansa Yogananda
He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world
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
Those who look at the surface of the sea must behold the birth and death of the waves, but those who seek the depths of the ocean behold one indivisible mass of water. Similarly, those who acknowledge life and death are tossed by sorrow, while those who live in the illimitable superconsciousness behold and feel the One Ineffable Bliss.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
If God calls me tomorrow I will go without a moment's turning back.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Stillness is the altar of spirit.
