Two of my favorite uplifting quotes by Sri Paramahansa Yoganand: "Whatever I do, I do with the greatest love that I have in me.
Try this, and you will see that you do not become fatigued at all. Love is one of the greatest stimulants to the will. Under the influence of love the will can do almost anything."
"To Those who think me near, I will be near."'

Samadhi [spiritual ecstasy; state of God-union experienced as the ultimate goal of meditation] is a joyous experience, a splendid light in which you behold the countless worlds. It could also be defined as Cosmic Consciousness.
C. G. Jung's Synchronicity
My favorite definition of Synchronicity is from Roderick Main's book: Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal
"The culmination of Jung's lifelong engagement with the paranormal is his theory of synchronicity, the view that the structure of reality includes a principle of acausal connection which manifests itself most conspicuously in the form of meaningful coincidences. Difficult, flawed, prone to misrepresentation, this theory none the less remains one of the most suggestive attempts yet made to bring the paranormal within the bounds of intelligibility. It has been found relevant by psychotherapists, parapsychologists, researchers of spiritual experience, and a growing number of non-specialists. Indeed, Jung's writings in this area form an excellent general introduction to the whole field of the paranormal."
