Eventually, meditation will make our mind calm, clear, and as concentrated as a laser which we can focus at will. This capacity of one-pointed attention is the essence of genius. When we have this mastery over attention in everything we do, we have a genius for life itself: unshakable security, clear judgment, and deep personal relationships.~ Eknath Easwaran

Time does not hurry us; we hurry ourselves. If we could slow the mind down, we would see that there is never any moment but the present, never any time but now.

The marvel of forgiveness is this: when we can completely forgive someone for the tantrum they threw this afternoon, loving them even a little more because we see they really need our support, we are at the same time beginning to forgive ourselves for every tantrum we have ever thrown at others.

Research evidence today suggests that emotional immunity to negative states of mind may well be linked to physical immunity, even resistance to disease. A person who is even minded, who doesn’t get shaken if people speak ill of him or excited when they praise her to the skies – such a person, I submit, is a poor host for disease. That kind of inner toughness creates a protective buffer of what one researcher, Suzanne Kobasa, calls “hardiness”: enhanced resistance to illness and the everyday stress of daily life.

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.
