17# - Paramahansa Yogananda: Reflections on love

The love of God, the love of the Spirit, is an all-consuming love. Once you have experienced it, it shall lead you on and on in the eternal realms. That love will never be taken away from your heart.

#16 - Paramahansa Yogananda: Magnetism - The inherent power of the soul

Cultivate within yourself that spiritual magnetism which is in Christ and Krishna and the masters. In order to do this, you have to become unselfish; you must express selfless love for all. Try always to be helpful. Develop your usefulness to your family, to your community, to your friends. Be willing to help wherever you are. That makes you a magnetic person.

#14 - Paramahansa Yogananda: The Beatitudes (Sermon on the Mount)

The lyric verses of Jesus that begin “Blessed are...” have become known as The Beatitudes. To beatify is to make supremely happy; beatitude signifies the blessedness, the bliss, of heaven. Jesus here sets forth with power and simplicity a doctrine of moral and spiritual principles that has echoed undiminished down the ages—tenets by which man’s life becomes blessed, filled with heavenly bliss.

#13 - Paramahansa Yogananda: The aurora of bliss

When you are struggling in the water, you are not so much conscious of the water as you are of your struggle. But when you let go and relax, you float; then you feel the whole lake lapping soothingly around your body. That is the way God is. When you are calm, you feel the whole universe of happiness rocking gently beneath your consciousness. That happiness is God.

#12 - Paramahansa Yogananda: Did we meet before?

It is a most wonderful experience to meet and recognize someone you knew before—someone with whom you have traveled the same pathway of life in former incarnations. All those in my family I knew from past lives. And every now and then I meet others who were known to me in previous incarnations, such as friends of my childhood. Though they have nothing in common with my present life, they are souls I had known before.It is a most wonderful experience to meet and recognize someone you knew before—...

#11 - Paramahansa Yogananda: Seek God First

How easy it is to pack the day with foolishness, how difficult to fill it with worthwhile activities and thoughts! Yet God is not so much interested in what we are doing as in where the mind is. Everyone has a different difficulty, but God doesn’t listen to any excuses. He wants the devotee’s mind to be engrossed in Him in spite of any troublesome circumstances.

#10 - Paramahansa Yogananda: Raise the level of consciousness

Sri Krishna’s message in the Bhagavad Gita is the perfect answer for the modern age, and any age: Yoga of dutiful action, of nonattachment, and of meditation for God-realization. To work without the inner peace of God is Hades; and to work with His joy ever bubbling through the soul is to carry a portable paradise within, wherever one goes. The path advocated by Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita is the moderate, medium, golden path, both for the busy man of the world and for the highest spiritual...

#09 - Paramahansa Yogananda: God as Light and Joy

Don’t yearn for human love; it will vanish. Behind human love is the spiritual love of God. Seek that. 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. Man has come on earth solely to learn to know God; he is here for no other reason.

#08 - Paramahansa Yogananda: The Yoga Art of Overcoming Mortal Consciousness and Death

If you tune in with the thought of God and hit the nail of delusion with the hammer of right thoughts of Truth, you can overcome delusion.“Destroy all mortal thoughts by substituting a thought of immortality. When you go beyond the consciousness of this world, knowing that you are not the body or the mind, and yet aware as never before that you exist—that divine consciousness is what you are. You are That in which is rooted everything in the universe. Paramahansa Yogananda, God Talks With Arjuna...

#07 - Paramahansa Yogananda: What is fate?

Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.

#06 - Paramahansa Yogananda: Realizing God in daily life

Meditation utilizes concentration in its highest form. Concentration consists in freeing the attention from distractions and in focusing it on any thought in which one may be interested. Meditation is that special form of concentration in which the attention has been liberated from restlessness and is focused on God. Meditation, therefore, is concentration used to know God.

#05 - Paramahansa Yogananda: How to remove sadness and suffering

Many people come to me to talk about their worries. I urge them to sit quietly, meditate, and pray; and after feeling calmness within, to think of the alternate ways by which the problem can be solved or eliminated. When the mind is calm in God, when the faith is strong in God, they find a solution to their problem. Merely ignoring problems won’t solve them, but neither will worrying about them. Meditate until you become calm; then put your mind on your problem and pray deeply for God’s help. Co...

#04 Paramahansa Yogananda - On the Dream-Nature of the World

Throughout the day, you are constantly working through the body, and so you become identified with it. But every night God removes from you that imprisoning delusion. Last night, in deep dreamless sleep, were you a woman or a man or an American or Hindu or rich or poor? No. You were pure Spirit....In the semi-superconscious freedom of deep sleep God takes away all your mortal titles and makes you feel that you are apart from the body and all its limitations—pure consciousness, resting in space. ...

#03 Paramahansa Yogananda - The physical and spiritual rewards of fasting

No food gives strength, no change of air invigorates, nothing can restore energy to the body when its life force begins to diminish. Fasting gives rest to the overworked organs, the bodily engines; and also to the life force itself, relieving it of extra work. When you cease to make the life force feel it has to depend for its existence on external sources—food, water, oxygen, sunshine—it becomes self-supporting, independent. The more you concentrate on the palate, the more disease you will have...

Samadhi is a joyous experience, a splendid light in which you behold the countless worlds floating in a vast bed of joy and bliss. Banish the spiritual ignorance that makes you think this mortal life is real. Have these beautiful experiences for yourself in eternal samadhi, in God. Auroras of light, skyfuls of eternal bliss will be opened to you. All great teachers declare that within this body is the immortal soul, a spark of That which sustains all. He who knows his soul knows this truth: “I a...

#01 Paramahansa Yogananda - How to use mind power to ease pain

The best anesthesia against pain is your mental power. If your mind refuses to accept it, pain will be greatly lessened. I have seen, at times when this body got hurt and felt severe pain, that if I put my mind at the Christ center—that is, if I identify myself more with God and less with the body—there is no pain at all. So when pain comes, concentrate at the Christ center. Be mentally apart from pain; develop more strength of mind. Mind power carries with it the unfailing energy of God; that i...
