Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked.

In deep meditation the flow of concentration is continuous like the flow of oil.

The heart and mind can find peace and harmony by contemplating the transcendental nature of the true self as supreme effulgent life.

Where the heart is full of kindness which seeks no injury to another, either in act or thought or wish, this full love creates an atmosphere of harmony, whose benign power touches with healing all who come within its influence. Peace in the heart radiates peace to other hearts, even more surely than contention breeds contention.

The wisdom obtained in the higher states of consciousness is different from that obtained by inference and testimony as it refers to particulars.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations; your conscious expands in every direction; and you find yourself in a great, new and wonderful world.

Yoga takes you into the present moment, the only place where life exists.
