When the mind merges into the heart, the mind is your friend. ~ Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
April 22nd Daily Meditation Moment
We must be careful not to mistake agitation for fulfillment, excitement for joy. When our mind is not turbulent for a little while, we tend to think we’re in a slump and start groping about for something that can stir it up again: a thrilling movie, a stiff drink, a spirited quarrel, anything to “get the juices flowing.” Taken one by one these may seem like fairly innocuous forms of indulgence, yet in their long-range cumulative impact, they deplete us and deflect us from our real goals. ~ Eknath Easwaren

To become steadfast in yoga is to become established in the highest truth. With sustained effort and resolve, you do overcome the turbulence of the mind, the aimlessness of action. You regain a body of light. You experience your own true nature. ~ Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
February 23rd Daily Meditation Moment
Watch your own thoughts….Only you hold the key to your thoughts…and your thoughts mold your life. Your happiness and your unhappiness, your good fortune and your misfortune, your patience and your impatience, all this depends on your own thoughts and feelings. You are in charge. You have the authority to keep your thoughts in check or let them run wild.…You are in charge. ~ Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
January 15th Daily Meditation Moment
Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
