Scientists experiment in their laboratories with patient perseverance to find the truth. They don’t assert their theories unless they have positive proof. Likewise, India’s masters concentrated for years and years to solve the problem of how to live life properly. I am bringing to you the knowledge of mind and matter from the spiritual laboratories of India, as well as from my own experience. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Since ancient times, religious experiments have given India’s yogis knowledge of truths only now being “discovered” in the West by pragmatic scientific research. There is a definite need today for scientific religious experimentation applying the yogic methods of India. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

By concentrating within on the Infinite, you can receive this boundless power. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Don’t keep your mind engaged in too many activities. Analyze what you get from them, and see if they are really important. Don’t waste your time...I often say, “If you read for one hour, write in your spiritual diary for two hours; and if you write for two hours, think for three hours; and if you think for three hours, meditate all the time.” No matter where I go, I keep my mind continuously on my soul peace. You too should always point the needle of your attention toward the North Pole of spiritual joy. Then no one can ever disturb your equilibrium. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Meditation is the effort to realize and express that pure consciousness which is the reflection, or image, of God within you.

Disillusionment is not a bad thing as, if your illusions are shattered, it means you are getting closer to reality. - Sadhguru.

With the power of faith, march on, march on! By daily meditation, never forget Him. Every day new vistas and new revelations of His presence will come to you.

When by the science of controlling the life energy [Kriya Yoga] you master the subtle forces through which He creates and sustains all things, you will share in His dominion over all creation. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Faith means total trust — intuitive conviction, a knowing from the soul, that God is real, and that His help is ever ready to flow into man’s life. - Paramahansa Yogananda.
