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
