The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. If, then you experience mental resistance during meditation, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego; it doesn't belong to the soul.
Paramahansa YoganandaBe inwardly ever newly joyous, like the ever-fresh laughing waters of a gurgling brook.
Paramahansa YoganandaIt is better to meditate a little bit with depth than to mediate long with the mind running here and there. If you do not make an effort to control the mind it will go on doing as it pleases, no matter how long you sit to meditate.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe spine is the highway to the Infinite. Your own body is the temple of God. It is within your own self that God must be realized.
