Paramahansa YoganandaThe man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda.
Paramahansa YoganandaYour success in life does not altogether depend on ability and training; it also depends on your determination to grasp opportunities that are presented to you.
Paramahansa YoganandaTruths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.
