Paramahansa Yogananda (Indian - Leader)
January 5, 1893 - March 7, 1952
Introspection, or 'sitting in the silence,' is an unscientific way of trying to force apart the mind and senses, tied together by the life force. The contemplative mind, attempting its return to divinity, is constantly dragged back toward the senses by the life currents.

Only the wise know just where predestination ends and free will begins. Meanwhile, you must keep on doing your best, according to your own clearest understanding. you must long for freedom as the drowning man longs for air. Without sincere longing, you will never find God.
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
