Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
Paramahansa YoganandaSelf-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 YoganandaFear was given to man as a cautionary device to spare him pain; it is not mean to be cultivated and abused.
Paramahansa YoganandaDeath is not as terrible as you think. It comes to you as a healer. Sleep is nothing but a counterfeit death. What happens in death we can picture in sleep. All our sufferings vanish in sleep. When death comes, all our mortal tortures cease; they cannot go beyond the portals of death.
