Feel the love of God; then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things; and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love.
Paramahansa YoganandaCoercion or compulsion never brings about growth. It is freedom that accelerates evolution.
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.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe greatest dread of ordinary man is death, with its rude imposition interrupting fortuitous plans and fondest attachments with an unknown and unwelcome change. The yogi is a conqueror of the grief associated with death. By control of mind and life force and the development of wisdom, he makes friends with the change of consciousness called death-he becomes familiar with the state of inner calmness and aloofness from identification with the mortal body.
