It takes a number of years to learn to hold the mind perfectly in one place. But each day we do it a little better, and in the doing we're releasing energy that is taking our mind in higher diffuse planes of attention.

Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.

The eternal part of our being is perfect, free, always changing, always new, and completely conscious of all things.

Discriminate between the transient and the eternal. Learn to move from complete control to complete abandon.

People who are advanced meditators don't worry about liberation and self-realization; they instead are interested in the welfare of others and aiding others in their liberation.

Self-realization is liberation. Liberation is self-realization.

I see people driving cars, winding down the streets. I don't know where these people think they're going. They're going to the funeral home; that's about it.
