The way we respond to small matters reflects the way we will respond to the larger matters of life. If we can begin to release ourselves from our little like and dislikes, we will find that we are gaining the capacity to weather emotional storms. Then we can begin to face whatever comes calmly and courageously. ~

Eknath Easwaran

Happiness comes when the mind is at rest. ~ Eknath Easwaran

To love is to be responsible in everything: the work we do, the things we buy, the food we eat, the people we look up to, the movies we see, the words we use, every choice we make from morning to night. That is the real measure of love; it is a wonderfully demanding responsibility. ~ Eknath Easwaran

Our attention, then, is a most precious faculty. It matters greatly what we do with it, because whatever we place our attention on, be it good or ill, it is encouraged to flourish. ~ Eknath Easwaran

Once we have learned to dive deep in meditation, there is no end to the resources we can bring to our daily life, no challenge we will be unable to meet. ~ Eknath Easwaran
