When selfish desire is removed from a relationship, there is no hankering to get anything from the other person. We are free to give, which means we are free to love. Then we can give and support and strengthen without reservation. ~ Eknath Easwaran

In the first stage of meditation we discover that our bodies are really garments we wear – or, if you like, vehicles in which we ride. ~ Eknath Easwaran
November 3rd Daily Meditation Moment
When the mind gets agitated, we do not see life as it truly is, as one. It is the constant agitation going on in our mind that deludes us into believing that you and I are separate. ~ Eknath Easwaran
October 22nd Daily Meditation Moment
The unity underlying life is so complete and pervasive that when we inflict suffering on the smallest creature, we injure the whole. When we refrain from habits that harm others, when we take up jobs that relieve suffering, when we work to put an end to anger and separateness, we strengthen the whole. ~ Eknath Easwaran
October 6th Daily Meditation Moment
As our meditation deepens, we develop the ability to withdraw our attention more and more from the past and the future to focus it on the present. And as we begin to live more and more in the present, we make the exhilarating discovery that past and future exist only in our minds. It is a tremendous realization, for it means that we are released from any burden of guilt about the past and any anxiety about the future. ~ Eknath Easwaran
