Not an unconscious state
Or mental chloroform without wilful return,
Samadhi but extends my realm of consciousness
Beyond the limits of my mortal frame
To the boundaries of eternity,
Where I, the Cosmic Sea,
Watch the little ego floating in Me.

— Paramahansa Yogananda Songs of the Soul (1923)

You are walking on the earth as in a dream; Our world is a dream within a dream.

Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept!

Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)

All that you need to do is improve your knowing.

In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping,
Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving,
My soul constantly hums, unheard by any:
God, God, God!

Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)

Love is the song of the soul, singing to God.
