On Purification

"The aspiring yogi of the West as well as of the East must discipline himself…. He should refrain from making too much fuss about the body. If he sees he is finding time for everything else but is too busy for God, he should take the whip of discipline to himself. Why be afraid? There is everything to gain. If a man will not himself cry and struggle to attain his own salvation, will anyone else do it for him?"

— Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, Man's Eternal Quest

On Purification

"The will of God flows to the disciple through the Guru at all times. If we accept our discipline in the right spirit, it will strengthen our character as nothing else could."

On Practising The Presence Of God

"Whenever you see a beautiful sunset, think to yourself: "It is God's painting on the sky." As you look into the face of each person you meet, think within: "It is God who has become that form." Apply this trend of thought to all experiences: "The blood in my body is God; the reason in my mind is God; the love in my heart is God; everything that exists is God."

— Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, Yogoda Satsanga Lessons

On Practising The Presence Of God

"No matter which way you turn a compass, its needle points to the north. So it is with the true yogi. Immersed he may be in many activities, but his mind is always on the Lord. His heart constantly sings: "My God, my God, most lovable of all!""

— Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda

On Practising The Presence Of God

"There cannot be any excuse for not thinking of God. Day and night, rolling in the background of your mind, God! God! God!… Whether you are washing dishes or digging a ditch or working in an office or a garden – whatever you may be doing – inwardly say, "Lord, manifest to me! You are right here. You are in the sun. You are in the grass. You are in the water. You are in this room. You are in my heart.""

On Practising The Presence Of God

"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."

On Right Attitude

"If I were to give you the gift that I would like best of all to offer you, it would be the right attitude toward God and Guru; toward life; toward your work; toward the others of your group. But the best gifts cannot be purchased and given. The gifts and graces of the soul must be acquired by patient, daily practice. All will surely be yours in time, for if you do not obtain them in the position to which God has called you, where, in all the world, are they to be found?"

— Sri Gyanamata, God Alone: The Life and Letters of a Saint

On Right Attitude

"I do not expect anything from others, so their actions cannot be in opposition to wishes of mine."

On Right Attitude

"Avoid a negative approach to life. Why gaze down the sewers when there is loveliness all around us? One may find some fault in even the greatest masterpieces of art, music, and literature. But isn't it better to enjoy their charm and glory? Life has a bright side and a dark side, for the world of relativity is composed of light and shadows. If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil, you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything, that you absorb the quality of beauty."

— Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda

On Freedom

"Swami Sri Yukteswar to Paramahansa Yogananda: "Freedom of will does not consist in doing things according to the dictates of prenatal or postnatal habits or of mental whims, but in acting according to the suggestions of wisdom and free choice. If you tune in your will with mine [the wisdom-guided will of the guru], you will find freedom."

— Sri Sri Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, Yogoda Satsanga Lessons
