“Life is meant to be lived in a worthwhile way. When you came into this world, you cried, and everybody else smiled. You should live your life so that when you leave this world, everyone will cry, but you will be smiling. “
“See God in everyone, as I see Him....Mentally put yourself in the position of others, and then with the utmost kindness you will be able to understand and help them. There is no greater joy.”
“He who is a true lover of God stands by Him equally during sunny days of joy and dark days of trials. Why not? Those who are in love are day and night thinking only of their beloved one. So is this romance with God. It is the most wonderful existence you can ever imagine.”
— Paramahansa Yogananda from Solving the Mystery of Life
