Love opens all doors, no matter how closed they may be, no matter how rusty from lack of use. Your work is to bring unity and harmony, to open all doors which have been closed for a long time. Have patience and tolerance. Open your heart all the time. ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
March 23rd Daily Meditation Moment
We need to engage in self-inquiry constantly. Whatever happens in our lives, we cannot take it nonchalantly. Everything must be weighed. No matter how mundane or spiritual it looks, we need to weigh every action, every thought, every feeling. Only then can we complete our sadhana. ~ Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
March 22nd Daily Meditation Moment
In our modern civilization we try to cling to time as it rushes past, almost begging time to stop. We want to continue to be what we are now. We don’t want to be subjected to the ruthless physical changes that are an inescapable part of life. Yet it is the nature of the body to change, up to the last change we call death. Anybody who tries to cling to what is changing cannot help feeling insecure. ~ Eknath Easwaran

March 16th Daily Meditation Moment
Do not be dismayed, daughters, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven.

The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prize. ~ Saint Augustine
March 15th Daily Meditation Moment
My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed. . . . And thus, with the flash of one hurried glance, it attained to the vision of That Which Is. ~ Saint Augustine

It’s very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos. ~ Ram Das
March 10th Daily Meditation Moment
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love him as they love their cow – for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. ~ Meister Eckhart
March 9th Daily Meditation Moment
Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
