Real meditation engenders humility and purity, always. Yet I don't really think it demands any kind of lifestyle.

The person of power uses their power to open up their mind to higher levels all the time, which creates tremendous happiness.

Most people don't why they are born or why they die. They have no understanding of the forces in life that pull them and push them to their death and another rebirth in this or another world.

Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.

You're composed of an aggregate of different forms and energies, the samskaras. These are lines within your own being. When you go into samadhi, these lines dissolve gradually so you become less formed.

All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.

Interestingly enough, Aurthur C. Clarke once autographed a copy of his book "Rendezvous with Rama" for me.
