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 YoganandaWe don't become angels merely by the instrument of death. If we are angels now, we will be angels in the hereafter. If we are dark, negative personalities now, we will be the same after death.
Paramahansa YoganandaSince you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its own nature. Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.
Paramahansa YoganandaAs water by cooling and condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form. Everything in the universe is thought in material form.
