You may die a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. Or, you may keep your body and die only in the mind. The death of the mind is the birth of wisdom.

About This Quote

Yogananda said that the death of the body is not the end of life, but rather a beginning. He also said that when we think in a negative way, our mind becomes a prison. This is why Yogananda claimed that one can live a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. The only chance for peace from this turmoil is to change our thinking from negative to positive.
