The spine is the highway to the Infinite. Your own body is the temple of God. It is within your own self that God must be realized.
Paramahansa YoganandaAs a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
Paramahansa YoganandaWhy forgive one who wrongs you? Because if you angrily strike back you misrepresent your own divine soul nature-you are no better than your offender. But if you manifest spiritual strength you are blessed, and the power of your righteous behavior will also help the other person to overcome his misunderstanding.
