That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mine, and of pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, of firm resolve, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.~Bhagavad Gita

Before words get past the lips, the first gatekeeper asks, “Is this true?” That stops a lot of traffic immediately. But if the words get past the first gatekeeper, there is a second who asks, “Is it kind?” And for those words that qualify here too, the last gatekeeper asks, “Is it necessary?”~Eknath Easwaren

The most important principle to understand about meditation is this: We meditate to know ourselves. We usually think of meditation as a practice or a process. Yet meditation is also a relationship. If it is a process, then it is the process of coming into relationship with our own Consciousness.~Swami Durgananda

You can make the Self manifest before you. It exists within for your sake, right in the heart. You cannot see It through the eyes, nor can you attain It through speech. The tongue can speak about It, but the true…nature of the Self is silence.~Swami Muktananda

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.”~Swami Shivananda
August 11th Daily Meditation Moment
We are made, the scriptures of all religions assure us, in the image of God. Nothing can change our original goodness. Whatever mistakes we have made in the past, whatever problems we may have in the present, in every one of us the uncreated spark in the soul remains untouched, ever pure, ever perfect. Even if we try with all our might to douse or hide it, it is always ready to set our personality ablaze with light.~Eknath Easwaren
