Forget your dream-born mortal weakness. Wake up and know that you and God are one.
Paramahansa YoganandaSelf-realization means to know truth through yourself, and not through others. By seeking God first, through Self-realization, all things-strength, power, prosperity, wisdom, health, and immortality-will be added unto you.
Paramahansa YoganandaAs you forget self in service to others, you will find that, without seeking it, your own cup of happiness will be full.
Paramahansa YoganandaIt is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa YoganandaAnalyze yourself. All emotions are reflected in the body and mind. Envy and fear cause the face to pale, love makes it glow.
Paramahansa YoganandaLet us meditate until we perceive the Infinite Christ reigning in our own hearts. Let us learn to love those who love us not; and to forgive those who do ill against us. Let us break all our mental boundaries of color, creed, and nationality, and receive all - even our inanimate and animal brothers - in the endless, all embracing arms of our Christ Consciousness. This will be a true and fitting celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ to this earth.
