Our supreme purpose in life is not to make a fortune nor to purse pleasure, not to write our name on history but to discover this spark of the divine that is in our hearts.

Meditation is the basis of a life of splendid health, untiring energy, unfailing love, and abiding wisdom. It is the foundation of that deep inner peace for which eery one of us longs. No human being can ever find lasting satisfaction in money or success or prestige or anything else the world can offer. What we are really searching for is not something that satisfies us temporarily, but a permanent state of joy.

Like a highway patrol car slowing down traffic, the mantra weaves in and out between thoughts, separating them wider and wider until finally they are so far apart that you can choose what to think next.

It is not enough to have blind faith in spiritual ideals, based on the testimony of the scriptures or spiritual teachers. We must realize these truths for ourselves, in our own life and consciousness. As the Buddha was fond of sayings, the spiritual teacher only points the way; we must do our own traveling. The personal example of others may plant the seed in our hearts, inspiring us to meditate, but faith can develop fully only when we begin to reap the benefits of meditation in our own lives. ~

It is love that teaches us our real stature and reveals the heroism we never thought we possessed. The small renunciation that might be well-nigh impossible in a vacuum can be blessedly simple when someone we love stands to gain. ~
