Success is not rightly measured by the worldly standards of wealth, prestige and power. None of these bestow happiness unless they are rightly used. To use them rightly one must possess wisdom and love for God and man.
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 YoganandaThe man form is higher than the angel form; of all forms it is the highest. Man is the highest being in creation, because he aspires to freedom.
Paramahansa YoganandaDo not take life's experiences too seriously. For in reality they are nothing but dream experiences. Play your part in life, but never forget that it is only a role.
Paramahansa YoganandaCome into the silence of solitude, and the vibration there will talk to you through the voice of God.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe body is only a garment. How many times you have changed your clothing in this life, yet because of this you would not say that you have changed. Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change. You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.
