Thoughts are universally and not individually rooted; a truth cannot be created, but only perceived. The erroneous thoughts of man result from imperfections in his discernment. The goal of Yoga Science is to calm the mind, that without distortion it may mirror the Divine vision in the Universe.
Paramahansa YoganandaLittle stones that are pelted into the lake of consciousness should not throw the whole lake into commotion.
Paramahansa YoganandaLive quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.
Paramahansa YoganandaYou may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
