Paramahansa YoganandaThe more you meditate, the more helpful you can be to others, and the more deeply you will be in tune with God.
Paramahansa YoganandaWhen the mind is calm, how quickly, how smoothly, how beautifully you will perceive everything.
Paramahansa YoganandaIf you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe man form is higher than the angel form; of all forms it is the highest. Man is the highest being in creation, because he aspires to freedom.
Paramahansa YoganandaThe way to freedom is through service to others. The way to happiness is through meditation and being in tune with God... break the barriers of your ego, shed selfishness, free yourself from the consciousness of the body, forget yourself, do away with this prison house of incarnations, melt your heart in all, be one with creation.
