"Self-realization is the knowing—in body, mind, and soul—that we are one with the omnipresence of God;

that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of God now as we ever will be.

All we have to do is improve our knowing. I never allow the word “impossible” to take root in my mind; nor should you."

-Paramahansa Yogananda

"When you go beyond the consciousness of this world, knowing that you are not the body or the mind,

and yet aware as never before that you exist -- that divine consciousness is what you are.

You are That in which is rooted everything in the universe."
Paramahansa Yogananda
