If you are in a dark room, donโt beat at the darkness with a stick, but rather try to turn on the light
Paramahansa YoganandaDo your best and then relax. Let things go on in a natural way, rather than force them.
Paramahansa YoganandaAs a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
Paramahansa YoganandaAs God is omnipresent in the cosmos but is undisturbed by its variety, so man, who as a soul is individualized Spirit, must learn to participate in this cosmic drama with a perfectly poised and equilibrated mind.
