“The more intense the nature of a man, the more readily will he find meditation, and the more successfully will he practice it.”

“He does as he pleases and no more. He's the most successful man I know.”

“Patanjali says that we can meditate on anything that our heart desires. The important thing is not what we meditate on, but more that we meditate. And then gradually to meditate more and more on what corresponds to the innermost longing of our heart. The practice of meditation . . . gradually works its magic in stilling the mind. (42)”

“Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God. Some people mature into an understanding of God’s will more quickly than others because they obey more readily; they more readily sacrifice the life of nature to the will of God.”

“With the practice of meditation we can develop this ability to more fully love ourselves and to more consistently love others.”

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”
