Roam in the world as a lion of self-control; see that the frogs of weakness don’t kick you around. - Paramahansa Yogananda

"After deep prayer and meditation the devotee is in touch with his divine consciousness; there is no greater power than that inward protection." — Paramhansa Yogananda

"Sri Yukteswar used to poke gentle fun at the commonly inadequate conceptions of renunciation. 'A beggar cannot renounce wealth,' Master would say. 'If a man laments: 'My business has failed; my wife has left me; I will renounce all and enter a monastery,' to what worldly sacrifice is he referring? He did not renounce wealth and love; they renounced him!' Saints like Gandhi, on the other hand, have made not only tangible material sacrifices, but also the more difficult renunciation of selfish motive and private goal, merging their inmost being in the stream of humanity as a whole." (Chapter 44 - "With Mahatma Gandhi At Wardha")

To work with God's happiness bubbling in the soul is to carry a portable paradise within you wherever you go.
