The inquiry “who am I” turns the mind inward and makes it calm.
When one makes the mind stick to one thought, the mind becomes rock-steady and the energy is conserved.
You are all searching for the silence of the mountain. But you’re looking for something outside. This silence is accessible to you right now, inside the center of your own being.
If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not other people. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of the earth.
Peace doesn’t come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.
If you want peace, work for justice.
Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul, except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.
Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
The Art of Peace begins with you...
For me, success is inner peace. That’s a good day for me.
A person whose mind is quiet and satisfied in God is in the pathway to health.
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.
Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.
If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinion for or against.
I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize that He is able to carry out His will for me. It does not matter where He places me, or how. That is for Him to consider, not me, for in the easiest positions He will give me grace, and in the most difficult ones His grace is sufficient.
You are not the mind. If you know you are not the mind, then what difference does it make if it’s busy or quiet? You are not the mind.
Realize that your world is only a reflection of yourself and stop finding fault with the reflection. Attend to yourself, set yourself right; mentally and emotionally. The physical self will follow automatically.
Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.
