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.


quote 5457  |   Paramhansa Yogananda




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


quote 5447  |   Paramhansa Yogananda




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


quote 5333  |   Paramhansa Yogananda




A deptship is attainable by the purification of the body in all respects. Purification of the material body can be effected by things generated along with it by Nature; that of the electric body by patience in all circumstances; and that of the magnetic body (chitta, spiritualized Atom, Heart) by regulation of the breath, which is called mantra, the purifier of the mind.


quote 4521  |   Shri Yukteswar
The Holy Science 




T he eight bondages or snares are hatred, shame, fear, grief, condemnation, race prejudice, pride of family and smugness. Removal of the eight bondages leads to magnanimity of the Heart.


quote 4520  |   Shri Yukteswar
The Holy Science 




W hen this love becomes developed in man it makes him able to understand the real position of his own Self as well as of others surrounding him


quote 4519  |   Shri Yukteswar
The Holy Science 




W hen this love, the heavenly gift of Nature, appears in the heart, it removes all causes of excitation from the system and cools it down to a perfectly normal state; and, invigorating the vital powers, expels all foreign matters- the germs of diseases-by natural ways (perspiration and so forth). It thereby makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind, And enables him to understand properly the guidance of Nature. "




quote 4518  |   Shri Yukteswar
The Holy Science 




O rdinary love is selfish, darkly rooted in desires and satisfactions. Divine love is without condition, without boundary, without change. The flux of the human heart is gone forever at the transfixing touch of pure love."


quote 4517  |   Shri Yukteswar
The Holy Science 




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.


quote 3976  |   Paramhansa Yogananda

(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.


quote 3975  |   Paramhansa Yogananda
Autobiography of a Yog, chap. The Law of Miracles 




Y oga is the restraint of the thought-waves of the mind
