One may gather great wisdom by cultivating the consciousness that this world and everything in it is only a dream. First of all, do not take your earth experiences too seriously. The root cause of sorrow is in viewing the passing show with emotional involvement. If you continually think to yourself, “I haven't lived as I ought to have lived,” you only make yourself miserable. Rather, do your best to be better; and no matter what difficulties come, ever affirm, “It is all a dream. It will soon pass.” Then no trouble can bea great trial to you. No happenings of this earth can in any way torture you.

Every day as you go through various earthly situations, mentally practice your oneness with God. If a pain comes along to disturb that consciousness you should reason, “Well, if I were asleep I wouldn’t feel this pain; why should I be aware of it now? All experiences are fleeting dreams.” Practice overcoming all trials in this manner. Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesDon’t be sensitive about the body and material concerns, nor let anyone hurt you. Keep your consciousness aloof. Give good-will to all, but develop a state of consciousness wherein nobody can ruffle you. Try to make others happy every day. Share your wisdom with others.

You are dreaming your mortal existence; it is part of God’s cosmic dream. Every day you are living in this dream of physical being. Every night, in deep sleep, it is gone.

All delusion I cast from the sacred shrine of my soul. Be Thou the only King sitting on the throne of my ambitions, the only Queen in the castle of my love, the only Deity in the temple of my soul. Keep me awake in Thy consciousness, that I may pray and demand unceasingly until Thou dost open all doors into Thy home of wisdom, and there receive me, Thy prodigal child, and entertain me with the fatted calf of immortality and eternal joy.” Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesYour body is worth only about ninety cents; in depression times even less! Why not cultivate a better acquaintance with the invisible man? It is he who has power and friends and love. Without him, visible man has nothing but the chemicals of which he is made. Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesWhenever we are conscious of our bodies we are tied to the body’s limitations. Hence the great masters teach us to close our eyes and remind ourselves, by meditation on the invisible self, that we are not restricted to what our physical bodies can do. Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesIf you once understood the invisible man and the miracle of his outer physical body, his secondary body of light, and his inner body of ideas, you would realize what a wonderful creation you are!

Whatever you give out will come back to you. Hate, and you will receive hate in return. When you fill yourself with inharmonious thoughts and emotions, you are destroying yourself. Why hate or be angry with anyone? Love your enemies. Why stew in the heat of anger? If you become riled, get over it at once. Take a walk, count to ten or fifteen, or divert your mind to something pleasant. Let go of the desire to retaliate. When you are angry your brain is overheating, your heart is having valve trouble, your whole body is being devitalized. Exude peace and goodness; because that is the nature of the image of God within you—your true nature. Then no one can disturb you.

These sufferers neglect the great and small duties of material life in the name of serving God, and thus invite the devil to work his mischief in them. They suffer from pessimism and lack of appreciation for all things good and beautiful in the material life. This is a contagious disease, and all spiritual aspirants must guard themselves against it by keeping their blood of energy warm and immune with constant healthful worthwhile activity.

You would. see that some have a tiny head of undeveloped wisdom attached to a bulging trunk of sense appetite. Some would. possess a withered body of pep and feeling, with the arm of business faculty very much overdeveloped in proportion. Others perhaps have a large, creative brain, but the trunk of sympathy and feeling is shrunken and dried up. Still others, normal in head and body, would be seen to possess impotent paralytic legs of will and self-control. You could go on and on. Such multitudinous psychological deformities in pathological mental bodies, underdeveloped in some directions and overdeveloped in others, lie concealed within man, causing suffering to his soul and hampering its expression on the material plane.

Learn to live rightly, using your power of free choice, guided by wisdom. Be able to sleep comfortably on a soft bed one night and just as comfortably on the floor the next night. That divine nonattachment to habit is the freedom advocated by the masters of India.

Your will should always be guided by wisdom. One without the other is dangerous. If you have wisdom but not sufficient will to follow through as wisdom dictates, it is hurtful to your well- being; if you have a strong will but no wisdom, there is every chance of “misfiring” and destroying yourself. Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesTo use narcotics is one of the greatest sins against Spirit. Drink is the same. Both mean destruction of will power. The great saints have warned against them. Under no circumstance should you let yourself be tempted, for in a short while you can be lost.

After you have developed thinking will, you begin to reason, “I must produce something worthwhile with this power,” and you take up one thing at a time and try to accomplish it. You revolve that will around a problem of health or of finances or of controlling a habit, or around the desire to know God. If you will and act until victory, then you have attained dynamic will.

Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesWhen you make up your mind to do good things, you will accomplish them if you use dynamic will power to follow through. No matter what the circumstances are, if you go on trying, God will create the means by which your will shall find its proper reward. This is the truth Jesus referred to when he said: “If ye have faith, and doubt not.... if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done.” 4 If you continuously use your will power, no matter what reverses come, it will produce success and health and power to help people, and above all, it will produce communion with God. Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesNo matter what happens to your body, meditate. Never go to sleep at night until you have communed with God.

True devotees may be called fanatical in their devotion to Him. The only right kind of fanaticism is loyalty to God—night and day, night and day, thinking of Him. Without this kind of loyalty it is impossible to find God. Those who never miss Kriya, and who sit long in meditation and pray intensely to God, will discover the longed-for Treasure. Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesIf you are unable to exercise and meditate in the morning, do it at night.

I used to make a record of how long I had meditated daily and how deep I had gone. Seek solitude as much as possible. Do not spend your leisure in mixing with people for merely social purposes.

Paramahansa Yogananda Man's Eternal Quest: Collected Talks & Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life, Volume | #kindlequotesLet not anyone else know how deeply you feel for the Lord.
