In the spiritual life one becomes just like a little child, without resentment, without attachment, full of life and joy.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe time will come when mankind will begin to get away from the consciousness of needing so many material things. More security and peace will be found in the simple life.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe reflection, the verisimilitude, of life that shines in the fleshly cells from the soul source is the only cause of man's attachment to his body; obviously he would not pay solicitous homage to a clod of clay. A human being falsely identifies himself with his physical form because the life currents from the soul are breath-conveyed into the flesh with such intense power that man mistakes the effect for a cause, and idolatrously imagines the body to have life of its own.
Paramahansa YoganandaIf you open the door to the magnetic power of friendship, souls of like vibrations will be attracted to you.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God.
Paramahansa YoganandaThis world is not the same to all people. Each one lives in his little domain....Peace and harmony may reign in one person's world; where strife and restlessness in anothers. But whatever the circumstances of one's environment, it consists of both an inner and an outer world. The outside world is the one in which your life engages in action and interaction. The world inside of you determines your happiness or unhappiness.
