“No birth, no death, no caste have I; father, mother, have I none. Blessed Spirit, I am He. I am the Infinite Happiness.”
If you again and again repeat these thoughts, day and night, you will eventually realize what you really are: an immortal soul.

This show has a purpose: that you learn how to play the various parts of the life movie without identifying yourself with your role. It is important to avoid identification with pain or anger or any kind of mental or physical suffering that comes. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Don't pray for home or for money or for love or for friendship. Don't pray for anything of this world. Enjoy only what the Lord gives to you. All else leads to delusion. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Your body will remind you that you have worked hard and need rest, but the more you ignore its demands and concentrate on the Lord, the more you will burn with joyous life, like a globe afire. Then you will know that you are not the body. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now. - #ParamahansaYogananda

The purpose of life is to ascend the six spinal centers, reinforcing the human consciousness progressively with greater and greater lights, until it is able to unite with the all-pervading, thousand-rayed brilliance in the highest center in the brain. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Reincarnation means merely a change of mortal dress. But your real self will never change. You must concentrate on your real self, not on the body, which is nothing but a garment. - #ParamahansaYogananda
