Paramahansa Yogananda entered mahasamadhi (a conscious departure of the yogi from the body) in Los Angeles on March 7, 1952, after delivering his speech.
Only the wise person who dedicates themselves to realization—not merely to reading ancient revelations. Resolve all problems through meditation. Replace useless religious reflections with a genuine bond with God.
Don’t do what you want, and then you will be able to do what you like.
