Paramahansa YoganandaDo not think of yourself as the body, but as the joyous consciousness and immortal life behind it.
Paramahansa YoganandaWhen we serve others, we serve ourselves. Do not think, I will help others - think rather, I will help my own, my world, because I cannot otherwise be happy.
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.
