Paramahansa Yogananda Quote

Many ask, Shall we first acquire material success to fulfill our worldly obligations, and then seek God? Or should we have God first and then go after success? By all means, God first. Never begin or end your day without communion with Him in deep meditation. We should remember that we could not perform any duties without the power borrowed from God. So it is to Him we owe our first allegiance. If you do your other duties but forget God, He doesn't like that at all. The ideal is to perform all duties with the sole desire to please God.
