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 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 YoganandaFrom joy people are born; for joy they live; in joy they melt at death. Death is an ecstasy, for it removes the burden of the body and frees the soul of all pain springing from body identification. It is the cessation of pain and sorrow.
