I come not to entertain you with worldly festivities but to arouse your sleeping memory of immortality.
Paramahansa YoganandaAs God is omnipresent in the cosmos but is undisturbed by its variety, so man, who as a soul is individualized Spirit, must learn to participate in this cosmic drama with a perfectly poised and equilibrated mind.
Paramahansa YoganandaThrough Self-realization man becomes aware of true values as to his place in the divine plan and his relation to the past, present, and future of mankind.
Paramahansa YoganandaBirths and deaths are inevitable for man only during the state of ignorance in which he thinks he is the body and cannot exist without it. Only the man who will not seek the awakening of wisdom must suffer the nightmares and delusive dreams of births and deaths and the fanciful miseries and limitations attending them. (gt)
