Still your mind in me, still yourself
in me, and without a doubt you
shall be united with me, Lord of
Love, dwelling in your heart.
?Bhagavad Gita
Meditation brings wisdom; lack of
meditation leaves ignorance. Know well
what leads you forward and what hold you back,
and choose the path that leads to wisdom.
?Buddha
Through meditation and by giving full
attention to one thing at a time, we can learn
to direct attention where we choose.
?Eknath Easwaran
In deep meditation the flow of concentration
is continuous like the flow of oil.
?Patanjali
Health, a light body, freedom from cravings,
a glowing skin, sonorous voice, fragrance
of body: these signs indicate
progress in the practice of meditation.
?Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Soon silence will have passed into legend.
Man has turned his back on silence. Day after
day he invents machines and devices that increase
noise and distract humanity from the essence
of life, contemplation, meditation... Tooting,
howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling,
grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety
subsides. His inhuman void spreads
monstrously like a gray vegetation.
?Jean Arp
Prayer is more than meditation.
In meditation the source of strength is
one's self. When one prays he goes to a
source of strength greater than his own.
?Madame Chiang Kai-Shek
Meditation is the tongue of the soul
and the language of our spirit.
?Jeremy Taylor
Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in
Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness
without objectification, knowing without
thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
?Sivananda
