Quotes about Fear by Paramahamsa Yogananda

  • Trust in God and destroy fear, which paralyzes all efforts to succeed and attracts the very thing you fear.
  • We fear death because of pain, and because of the thought that we may become obliterated. This idea is erroneous. Jesus showed himself in a physical form to his disciples after his death. Lahiri Mahasaya returned in the flesh the next day after he had entered mahasamadhi. They proved that they were not destroyed.
  • Analyze yourself. All emotions are reflected in the body and mind. Envy and fear cause the face to pale, love makes it glow.
  • To face death itself should not daunt you. Fear of death is ridiculous, because as long as you are not dead you are alive, and when you are dead there is nothing more to worry about!
  • Fear was given to man as a cautionary device to spare him pain; it is not meant to be cultivated and abused.
