As Paramahansa Yogananda wrote, when you can “stand unshaken midst the crash of breaking worlds,” then nothing can touch you where you live, and nothing of value can be taken from you.
Live in the midst of the battle of life. Anyone can keep calm in a cave or when asleep. Stand in the whirl and madness of action and reach the Center. If you have found the Center, you cannot be moved.
Swami Vivekananda
Of course, only a Christ-like master can maintain perfect equanimity when faced with great personal tragedy.
Quiet minds can’t be perplexed or frightened, but go in in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Yogananda’s eloquent vision is an ideal worth striving for, but one that few will fully realize. Yet never lose sight that no matter what life brings, your spirit was created to joyously take flight and soar among the stars.
Be like the bird that, halting in her flight
Awhile, on boughs too slight,
Feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings,
Knowing that she hath wings.
Victor Hugo
