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

Just as there was a cultural Renaissance in the west several centuries ago, the world needs a spiritual renaissance today. It can be brought about only by little people like us: every man, every woman, every child, changing their personality from selfish to selfless, from human to divine. ~ Eknath Easwaran

What is good in us and what is bad, our strong points and our weak points alike, develop because of constant association. When we associate with calm people, we become calm; when we associate with agitated people, we become agitated. When we frequent the company of people who are wise, we become wiser; when our company is otherwise, we become otherwise too. ~ Eknath Easwaran

It is natural to feel that a little status or recognition would not be unwelcome in addition to earning a good livelihood, yet all the world’s great religions teach us that getting something out of life, whether it is money or recognition or power or prestige, is not our real need. Giving to life is our real need. ~ Eknath Easwaran

Though the Lord is everywhere, the expression of his creativity varies throughout the infinite variety of the universe. Wherever perfection is approached, this glory is revealed a little more – among people, among trees, among mountains, among stars. — Eknath Easwaran
