The universal law of karma ... is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. In the course of natural righteousness, man, by his thoughts and actions, becomes the arbiter of his destiny.
Paramahansa YoganandaProper visualization by the exercise of concentration and willpower enables us to materialize thoughts, not only as dreams or visions in the mental realm, but also as experiences in the material realm.
Paramahansa YoganandaHaving lots of money while not having inner peace is like dying of thirst while bathing in the ocean.
Paramahansa YoganandaDeath is not a blotting-out of existence, a final escape from life; nor is death the door to immortality. He who has fled his Self in earthly joys will not recapture It amidst the gossamer charms of an astral world.

It is on the anvil of this gross earth that struggling man must hammer out the imperishable gold of spiritual identity.
