Happiness

“If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.”

Paramhansa Yogananda

“Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.”


—Yogananda’s Guru, Sri Yukteswar, quoted in “Autobiography of a Yogi”
