The wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda

30 quote(s) | Page 2 / 2

Y ou may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the Gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

Paramhansa Yogananda quote, Hinduism, Kriya Yoga

L ive quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.

Paramhansa Yogananda quote, Hinduism, Kriya Yoga

S ince you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them.

Paramhansa Yogananda quote, Hinduism, Kriya Yoga

G od encased the human soul successively in three bodies—the idea, or causal, body; the subtle astral body, seat of man's mental and emotional natures; and the gross physical body. On earth a man is equipped with his physical senses. An astral being works with his consciousness and feelings and a body made of lifetrons.(1) A causal-bodied being remains in the blissful realm of ideas.

Paramhansa Yogananda quote, Hinduism, Kriya Yoga
(1) Sri Yukteswar used the word prana; I have translated it as lifetrons. The Hindu scriptures refer not only to the anu, "atom," and to the paramanu, "beyond the atom," finer electronic energies; but also to prana, "creative lifetronic force." Atoms and electrons are blind forces; prana is inherently intelligent. The pranic lifetrons in the spermatozoa and ova, for instance, guide the embryonic development according to a karmic design.

T he world illusion, maya, is individually called avidya, literally, "not-knowledge," ignorance, delusion. Maya or avidya can never be destroyed through intellectual conviction or analysis, but solely through attaining the interior state of nirbikalpa samadhi.
