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

August 8th Daily Meditation Moment
We are all born with the basic elements of dharma, but these virtues need to be continuously invited into our lives from childhood. In time we grow to enjoy the freedom gained by right action and are able to travel within the grace of its universal protection.~Mother Maya
