Through Meditation And By Giving Full Attention

The Spiritual Life Is A Call To Action. But It Is A Call To ... Action Without Any Selfish Attachment To The Results.

Mastery Does Not Come From Dabbling. We Have To Be Prepared To Pay The Price. We Need To Have The Sustained Enthusiasm That Motivates Us To Give Our Best.

This Is The Central Principle Of Meditation: We Become What We Meditate On.

Meditation May Require A Lifetime To Master, But It Will Have Been A Lifetime Well Spent. ... If You Want To Judge Your Progress, Ask Yourself These Questions: Am I More Loving? Is My Judgment Sounder? Do I Have More Energy? Can My Mind Remain Calm Under Provocation? Am I Free From The Conditioning Of Anger, Fear, And Greed? Spiritual Awareness Reveals Itself As Eloquently In Character Development And Selfless Action As In Mystical States.

Don't Think The Purpose Of Meditation Is To Go Deep Into Consciousness, Wrap A Blanket Around Yourself, And Say, 'how Cozy! I'm Going To Curl Up In Here By Myself; Let The World Burn.' Not At All. We Go Deep Into Meditation So That We Can Reach Out Further And Further To The World Outside.
