Paramahansa YoganandaWith the opening of the New Year, all the closed portals of limitations will be thrown open and I shall move through them to vaster fields, where my worthwhile dreams of life will be fulfilled.
Paramahansa YoganandaYour part is to awaken your desire to accomplish your worthy objectives. Then whip your will into action until it follows the way of wisdom that is shown to you.
Paramahansa YoganandaSuccess is hastened or delayed by oneโs habits. It is not your passing inspirations or brilliant ideas so much as your everyday mental habits that control your life.
Paramahansa YoganandaThere is in India a story of a dying youth who, hearing the sobs of grief around him, cried: Insult me not with your cries of sympathy. When I soar to the land of eternal light and love; it is I who should feel for you. For me, disease, shattering of bones, sorrow, excruciating heartaches no more. I dream joy, I glide in joy, I breathe in joy evermore.
