As you focus your attention on the heart center, you will begin to feel your thoughts slowing down. You'll begin to feel your mind becoming calm and quiet. They won't bother you.

Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.

If you ever care about things, that means they have power over you.

You're much too hung up on all of your ideas and your desires. You still have not penetrated the essence of yoga.

If you decide that you are a winner, and if you hold that image in your mind strongly enough, you will become a winner.

Success will come about because you are in a higher state of mind. If you create good karma, then you will go into higher states of mind.

From my own personal encounters and studies with both Tantric and Zen Buddhist monks, I have found them to be humorous, warm, charming, and compassionate.
