Meditation is the process of understanding your own mind.

In obedience there is always fear, and fear darkens the mind.

It is only in a very quiet mind that great things are born; and a quiet mind does not come about through effort, through control, through discipline.

After all, without understanding yourself, what basis have you for right thinking?

There is only that inevitable danger as long as there is lack of understanding; but the moment the individual understands, there will be no formation of religion.

Life is a joyous thing essentially, but when you bind life by all these rigid moralities and traditions, and dogmas and creeds, then there is misery.

Without understanding the process of the self, there is no bais for thought, there is no basis for right thinking.
