It is foolish to be afraid of death. Just think. No more repaired tires on the body vehicle, no more patchwork living.
Paramahansa YoganandaBe inwardly ever newly joyous, like the ever-fresh laughing waters of a gurgling brook.
Paramahansa YoganandaHave only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.
Paramahansa YoganandaWe are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings.
Paramahansa YoganandaAn adept of Kriya Yoga conquers death by taking the soul beyond identification with the physical body, consciously and at will; and then returning to the consciousness of the mortal form again. By this process, he experiences the body as merely the material dwelling place of the soul. He can remain therein as long as he wants; and after that body has fulfilled its usefulness, he can quit it at will without suffering physical pain or mental pain due to attachment, and enter his omnipresent home in God.
