We are not alone in the universe. We are surrounded by mighty creative forces. ~ Eknath Easwaran

You and I are trustees. Nothing belongs to us personally. The resources of our planet have been entrusted to every one of us together. Like good bank trustees, we are expected not to squander these resources but to invest them wisely for our beneficiaries: the rest of life, especially the generations to come.
The trust includes not only the lives and natural resources of the planet, but our inner resources as well. This has practical implications. We can lessen our potentially exhausting impact on the earth by simplifying our desires and demands. Simplicity is the key to trusteeship. ~ Eknath Easwaran

Meditation is a systematic technique for taking hold of and concentrating ot the utmost degree our latent mental power. It consists in training the mind, especially the attention and the will, so that we can set forth from the surface level of consciousness and journey into the very depths. ~ Eknath Easwaran

We think that past and future are real because the mind keeps brooding over what we have done and what others have done to us, what we will do and what others will do to us. But it is not past and future that are real; it is our brooding on the past and the future that is real. If we could withdraw our attention from these ghosts, many of our problems would simply dissolve. ~ Eknath Easwaran

We are shaped by what gains our attention and occupies our thoughts. Today, amidst all of the conditioning to the contrary, we need constant reminders of our higher nature, and that is why spiritual reading can be very helpful. The media drown us in such a low image of the human being that it is essential to remind ourselves constantly of something higher. ~ Eknath Easwaran
