Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
The practice of Transcendental Meditation creates a natural situation in the mind so that the mind entertains right thoughts, useful thoughts, thoughts that are cherished by nature and whose fulfillment is worked out by all the laws of nature.
Transcendental Meditation opens the awareness to the infinite reservoir of energy, creativity, and intelligence that lies deep within everyone.
You begin by letting thoughts flow and watching them. The very observation slows down the mind till it stops altogether. Once the mind is quiet, keep it quiet. Don’t get bored with peace, be in it, go deeper into it.
In meditation, healing can happen. When the mind is calm, alert and totally contented, then it is like a laser beam – it is very powerful and healing can happen.
Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to stillness, from a limited identity to unlimited space.
Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.
When sitting in meditation, say, “That’s not my business!” with every thought that comes by.
The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.
My workout is my meditation.
Mind is there, in front of you. Don’t log in.
If there is no peace in the minds of individuals, how can there be peace in the world? Make peace in your own mind first.
For real happiness, for real lasting stable happiness, one has to make a journey deep within oneself and see that one gets rid of all the unhappiness and misery stored in the deeper levels of the mind.
Daydreaming with pencil and paper is a respectable form of meditation.
Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
As gold purified in a furnace loses its impurities and achieves its own true nature, the mind gets rid of the impurities of the attributes of delusion, attachment and purity through meditation and attains Reality.
Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.
Real meditation is not about mastering a technique; it’s about letting go of control.
Meditation takes us from survival to creation; from separation to connection; from imbalance to balance; from emergency mode to growth-and-repair mode; and from the limiting emotions of fear, anger, and sadness to the expansive emotions of joy, freedom, and love.
