This Is The Central Principle Of Meditation:

A Calm Mind Releases The Most Precious Capacity A Human Being Can Have: The Capacity To Turn Anger Into Compassion, Fear Into Fearlessness, And Hatred Into Love.

Every Angry Thought Makes It A Little Easier To Get Angry The Next Time, And A Little More Likely.

Excitement And Depression, Fortune And Misfortune, Pleasure And Pain Are Storms In A Tiny Private, Shell-bound Realm - Which We Take To Be The Whole Of Existence. Yet We Can Break Out Of This Shell And Enter A New World.

As The Web Issues Out Of The Spider, As Plants Sprout From The Earth, As Hair Grows From The Body, Even So, The Sages Say, This Universe Springs From, The Deathless Self (the Supreme Soul), The Source Of Life.

Do Not Feed Your Ego And Your Problems With Your Attention. ...slowly, Surely, The Ego Will Lose Weight, Until One Fine Day It Will Be Nothing But A Thin Ghost Of Its Former Self. You Will Be Able To See Right Through It, To The Divine Presence That Shines In Each Of Us.
