Zitate von Paramahansa Yogananda

Eure wahre Persönlichkeit beginnt sich zu entfalten, wenn ihr durch eure eigene tiefe Intuition fühlt, dass ihr nicht dieser feste Körper, sondern der göttliche, ewig währende Strom von Leben und Bewusstsein seid, der durch den Körper fließt.
Aus dieser Erkenntnis heraus konnte Jesus auf dem Wasser wandeln. Er hatte erkannt, dass alles nur aus Gottes Bewusstsein besteht. Paramahansa Yogananda Mukunda Lal Ghosh [BW 540] (1893-1952) bengalisch-indischer Yogi, Philosoph, Schriftsteller, Die ewige Suche des Menschen. Gesammelte Vorträge und Essays 1, S. 180, Self-Realization Fellowship, September 2001

Glücklich wird man nur, wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt, nachzudenken und sich selbst zu erforschen. Paramahansa Yogananda Mukunda Lal Ghosh [BW 540] (1893-1952) bengalisch-indischer Yogi, Philosoph, Schriftsteller

Kindness – Principles

Softer than the flower where kindness is concerned;
stronger than the thunder where principles are at stake.
Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author

Prayer

Pray with ecstasy. Meditate with ecstasy. And whenever you have a free moment, think of God. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, philosopher, author

Devotion

In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping, serving, meditation, chanting, divinely loving, my soul constantly hums, unheard by any: God! God! God! Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author, Songs of the Soul, Self-Realization Fellowship Publishers, 1. August 1983

The average man prays to God with his mind only, not with all the fervor of his heart. Such prayers are too weak to bring any response. We should speak to the Divine Spirit with a feeling of closeness, as to a father or mother. Our relationship with God should be one of unconditional love.
A definite conception of God (such as that of the Divine Mother) is necessary, otherwise one does not receive a clear response. And the demand for the Lord's reply should be strong; a half-believing prayer is not sufficient. If you make up your mind: "He is going to talk with me"; if you refuse to believe differently, regardless of how many years He has not answered you; if you go on trusting Him, one day He will respond. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, philosopher, author, How You Can Talk with God, Self-Realization Fellowship, 5. August 1957

Spritual practice

Follow a simple diet, exercise the body, and meditate daily – no matter what happens, rain or shine. If you are unable to exercise and meditate in the morning, do it at night. Pray to Him every day, 'Lord, even if I die, or if the whole world crumbles away, I am going to find time daily to be with Thee.' Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author, Man's Eternal Quest. Collected Talks and Essays – Volume 1, Self-Realization Fellowship, 1. September 1982

Teachers – Teaching

One who loves God can never take pleasure in being a teacher. He knows that God is the only Guru. I feel as the dust at your feet. This I say out of the realization of that mighty Spirit I behold in each one of you. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author, Man's Eternal Quest. Collected Talks and Essays – Volume 1, Self-Realization Fellowship, 1. September 1982

Reminders of God

The scenery of mountains painted on the ever-changing azure canvas of the sky, the mysterious mechanism of the human body, the rose, the green grass carpet, the magnanimity of souls, the loftiness of minds, the depth of love – all these things remind us of a God who is beautiful and noble. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author

Evil

The vibrations of evil that mankind leaves in the ether upset the normal harmonious balance of the Earth. When the Earth becomes very heavy with disease and evil, these etheric disturbances cause the world to give way to earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author

Evil is anything that obstructs God-Realization. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author

Astrology

Superstitious awe of astrology makes one an automaton, slavishly dependent on mechanical guidance. The wise man defeats his planets – which is to say, his past-by transferring his allegiance from the creation to the Creator. The more he realizes his unity with Spirit, the less he can be dominated by matter. The soul is ever-free; it is deathless because birthless. It cannot be regimented by stars. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author, Autobiography of a Yogi, chapter 16, first page, pg. 305, Self-Realization Fellowship, First Thus edition, 12. December 1946
