Paramahansa Yogananda's "The Law of Success" is available in multiple languages: yssi.org/LS

When guided by error, human will misleads us; but when guided by wisdom, human will is attuned to the Divine Will. God's plan for us often becomes obscured by the conflicts of human life and so we lose the inner guidance that would save us from chasms of misery. — Paramahansa Yogananda, "The Law of Success"

“No one else has a personality just like yours.
No one else has a face like yours.
No one else has a soul like yours.
You are a unique creation of God.” –Paramahansa Yogananda

As you ponder your New Year’s resolutions, set forth a determined spirit to accomplish your goals in a way that is authentic for you.

"L'amour ne peut être obtenu sur commande, c'est un cadeau d'un cœur à un
autre cœur. Ayez confiance en vos sentiments lorsque vous dites à quelqu'un:
"Je t'aime". Si tu donnes ton amour, ça doit être pour toujours, pas pourquoi
vous voulez rester à côté de cette personne, mais pourquoi voulez-vous
perfection pour son âme. L'amour divin, l'amour de la vérité
l'amitié consiste à désirer la perfection pour la personne qui
l'amour, et éprouver un sentiment de pure joie quand on pense à
son âme. "

(Paramahansa Yogananda)

“I used to sit for hours trying to forget the body and the thoughts! I came to a point where I thought it was no use. But I saw it was my fault. Between the restless thoughts and God there is a wall; the ordinary person doesn’t try, so he never gets over that wall. But the spiritual fighter goes on. When the mind becomes still, you are in the kingdom of the Infinite.”

- Paramahansa Yogananda

It is normal for your mind to drift when meditating. Think of your thoughts as fish swimming by. The thought flows by, and you watch it swim away. Start to notice when your thoughts become slower. The few seconds of calm, before the next thought, is when you are touching the spirit of God. Every moment between thoughts, you are succeeding in connecting with the Divine. Do not think your meditation is useless because you continue to have thoughts. Focus your attention on expanding the seconds between the thoughts.

„»Ihr seid das Licht der Welt« heißt: Durch ihre Anwesenheit geben menschliche Wesen dieser Erde lichtvolle Bedeutung. Selbst wenn der Mond und die Sterne unsere Erde beleuchteten und die kahlen Berge sich mit silbernen Gipfeln schmückten, blieben all diese für immer unbekannt, wenn es keine Menschen gäbe, die sie zu würdigen wüssten. … Ohne das Licht des menschlichen Bewusstseins würden die mond- und sternklaren Nächte, der Ozean, die landschaftlichen Schönheiten und der sonnenhelle Tag im Schloss dunkler Äonen verborgen bleiben.
Deshalb ist der Mensch das Licht der Welt. Kein anderes Lebewesen, allein das menschliche Bewusstsein ist mit der alles offenbarenden Lampe einer potenziell grenzenlosen Intelligenz ausgestattet.“
~ Paramahansa Yogananda

While working, every now and then stop and ask yourself, "Where is my consciousness? Is my mind silently watching God within, or is it lost in these outer concerns?" If you meditate and then try during activity to keep the mind centred in the Divine, you automatically begin to express balance in your life. And you become a calmer human being-operating not from emotion but trom a deeper state of inner quietude.

"Sometimes you may have a dark period. You may find it difficult to meditate and you may not feel you are getting much out of it. No - it’s not true. Those dark periods are precious. They are very important - they are necessary - because they are teaching us unconditional love. God is meeting you through the light and through the darkness. Maybe you are striving for devotion, but don’t feel love for God. Just remember, wanting to love God is loving God."- Brother Anandamoy -- (Excerpts from a talk at 2003 Convocation)

“God sent you here for a purpose…are you acting in harmony with that purpose? You came on earth to accomplish a divine mission. Realize how tremendously important that is! Do not allow the narrow ego to obstruct your attainment of an infinite goal.”

– Paramahansa Yogananda

Sometimes we walk around in our world reacting and responding to all the drama that is occurring on the planet due to the fundamental misunderstanding and ignorance of what we really are. May we not let another day pass without being still and remembering, through direct experience, the indescribable magnitude of what we are and what we can bring to the world.
