“The practice of forgiveness is very much like the practice of meditation. You have to do it often and persist at it in order to be any good.”

“Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.”

“for any practice to work, the mind which is meditating and the object of meditation must merge. Often they are facing each other. One has to become completely absorbed, then the transformation will occur.”

“Micro meditations should be performed with very little activity. These practices should not be associated with any goal, concept or belief.”

“A man must love a thing very much if he practices it without any hope of fame or money, but even practice it without any hope of doing it well. Such a man must love the toils of the work more than any other man can love the rewards of it.”

“My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently”
