By removing that which is petty and self-seeking, we bring forth all that is glorious and mindful of the whole.

Lasting change happens when people see for themselves that a different way of life is more fulfilling than their present one.

Our deepest need is for the joy that comes with knowing we are of genuine use to others.

When we are at home with ourselves, we are at home everywhere in the world. When we have found peace within ourselves, peace and love follow us wherever we go.

Having come to realize in the first stage of meditation that we are not our bodies, in the second stage we make an even more astounding discovery; we are not our minds either.

We have to have a purpose greater than the endless struggle to satisfy personal desires.

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose.
