Meditation is a silent heart, a peaceful mind which can make life more lovable, more livable...
Meditation is the most significant because it opens the door for all other significant things: love, prayer, God, light, music, poetry.
Meditation, perhaps, is the only alchemy that can transform a beggar into an emperor.
Meditation makes you innocent, it makes you childlike. In that state, miracles are possible. That state is pure magic.
As meditation flowers, you find that on one hand truth has revealed to you all its mysteries and on the other blissfulness is showering all its treasures on you.
Wisdom happens through meditation, and bliss also happens through meditation. Both the flowers bloom on the same branch.
Once you start drinking a little of meditativeness, a little of love, you start growing wings.
If you ask Zen people they will say; tea is not something that you pour with unawareness and drink like any other drink. It is not a drink, it is meditation; it is prayer. So they listen to the kettle creating a melody, and in that listening they become more silent, more alert.
Just a little relaxation, just a little looking inwards, and the doors of immense potentialities open up. You are no more a beggar. Without conquering the world you have conquered the whole universe. Just conquer yourself.
Meditation is the only cure for all sicknesses that man is prone to; a single medicine. And I should remind you that the word meditation and medicine come from the same root. Medicine for the body and meditation for the soul. They both bring health.
Medicine heals the body, meditation heals the soul. Medicine is outwardly, meditation is inwardly. And man is whole only when medicine and meditation are together in deep harmony.
Love is the flowering of meditation. Meditation brings many treasures; perhaps love is the greatest roseflower that grows on the bush of meditation.
You have to put aside your ideology. Howsoever beautiful it looks, howsoever systematic it looks, howsoever philosophical you have made and decorated it, you have to put it aside and see within. That’s the whole method of meditation, awareness, watchfulness.
Meditation is the way to individuality. It makes you a light unto yourself.
Meditation is neither of the body nor of the mind, but belongs to the third within you – your being.
Meditation is to get out of your psychosis and to get out of your neurosis; it is simply to slip out of them.
Start with meditation, and things will go on growing in you – silence, serenity, blissfulness, sensitivity. And whatever comes out of meditation, try to bring it out in life. Share it, because everything shared grows fast.
Everything can become a meditation if you live it totally and intensely. And then your life becomes whole.
To me the greatest problem with humanity is that they don’t know anything of meditation.
That’s what I call meditation. You simply stand aloof and just see the mind disappearing, like a cloud on a faraway horizon, leaving the sky clean and pure. And in that state arises your consciousness in its full glory, in its full celebration.
