It is not your passing thoughts or brilliant ideas so much as your plain everyday habits that control your life....Live simply. Donโt get caught in the machine of the worldโ it is too exacting. By the time you get what you are seeking your nerves are gone, the heart is damaged, and the bones are aching. Resolve to develop your spiritual powers more earnestly from now on. Learn the art of right living. If you have joy you have everything,so learn to be glad and contented....Have happiness now.
Paramahansa YoganandaI come not to entertain you with worldly festivities but to arouse your sleeping memory of immortality.
Paramahansa YoganandaMind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.
Paramahansa YoganandaBe inwardly ever newly joyous, like the ever-fresh laughing waters of a gurgling brook.
