“No meditation, no life. Know meditation, know life.”
“The belief in death leads meditating about life; meanwhile, the belief in life leads you thinking about death.”
“Whenever the Christian idea of meditation is taken seriously, there are those who assume it is synonymous with the concept of meditation centered in Eastern religions. In reality, the two ideas stand worlds apart. Eastern meditation is an attempt to empty the mind; Christian meditation is an attempt to fill the mind. The two ideas are quite different.”
“That's the source of the meditation on death I've carried in my heart all my life.”
“Meditation needs no results. Meditation can have itself as an end, I meditate without words and on nothingness. What tangles my life is writing.”
