The way to liberation lies through this realization of the Self, by God-communion and by remaining in this God-aware state of the soul while performing dutiful actions. Any individual can reach this supreme actionless state by the renunciation of all fruits of actions: performing all dutiful acts without harbouring in his heart any likes and dislikes, possessing no material desires, and feeling God, not the ego, as the Doer of all actions.
Paramahansa YoganandaWe fear death because of pain, and because of the thought that we may become obliterated. This idea is erroneous. Jesus showed himself in a physical form to his disciples after his death. Lahiri Mahasaya returned in the flesh the next day after he had entered mahasamadhi. They proved that they were not destroyed.
Paramahansa YoganandaWhenever you want to produce something, do not depend upon the outside source: go deep and seek the Infinite Source.
Paramahansa YoganandaRemain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.
