We all have difficult seasons, complications that are sometimes out of our hands, but that we still have to face. In this type of case it is good to take refuge in the teachings of the great spiritual teachers. One of them was Paramahansa Yogananda, who arrived in the United States in 1920, introducing countless Westerners to the science of kriya yoga meditation and the art of living in balance in mind, body, and soul. These are some Yogananda quotes to light up your heart.
1. There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is empathic solidarity, thinking of others first. When you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
2. The season of failure is the best time to sow the seeds of success.
3. Allow my soul to smile through my heart and my heart to smile through my eyes, so that I can distribute big smiles in sad hearts.
4. The happiness of our heart cannot satisfy our soul by itself. One must try to include, as necessary for personal happiness, the happiness of others.
