Paramahansa YoganandaIn your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.
Paramahansa YoganandaFaithfulness in the performance of small duties gives us strength to adhere to difficult determinations that life will someday force us to make.
Paramahansa YoganandaYou are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream; you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.
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.
