Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that Godโs omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing.
Paramahansa YoganandaNever be petty. Do not feed resentments against anyone. I prefer good-hearted sinners to so called good people who are intolerant and devoid of compassion. Being spiritual is to have an open mind, understand and forgive, and be friends with everyone.
Paramahansa YoganandaSuccess is not rightly measured by wealth, prestige and power. Success is measured by the yardstick of happiness.
Paramahansa YoganandaHappiness blooms naturally in the hearts of those who are inwardly free. It flows spontaneously, like a mountain spring after April showers, in minds that are contented with simple living.
