The best way to dissociate yourself from your difficulty is to be mentally detached, as if you were merely a spectator, while at the same time seeking a remedy. - #ParamahansaYogananda
Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world. - #ParamahansaYogananda
Trouble and disease have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to destroy us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home. No one is more anxious for our release than God. - #ParamahansaYogananda
Learn the lesson that you are not a man nor a woman, but a soul made in the image of God. Otherwise, God will have to send you here again and again until you outgrow your ignorance and realize your true Self. - #ParamahansaYogananda
What is #meditation? Becoming one with the soul. It means banishing the consciousness of being related to the body and to human limitations, and trying to remember that one is a soul. Meditation brings proof of the existence of God. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Everyone at one time or another is disappointed or even betrayed by others. Holding on to resentment is a slow-release poison. The antidote is forgiveness. It doesn’t mean you condone wrong behavior. It means you realize that everyone can make mistakes https://t.co/y29so4cwuS

Tuning in to intuitive guidance in meditation isn’t just a mechanical thing like searching the Internet. The superconscious mind is conscious & self-aware. The more we try to attune to it, the more it will provide us with the answers we’re seeking https://t.co/caP5SKrubx
