You give up not meditating. It's called meditation action. There's no way out of it. Meditation means to be constantly extricating yourself from the clinging of mind.

When you concentrate on the middle of your chest - this is where loving awareness lives. This is the spiritual heart. Not the beating heart, not the emotional heart. This spiri­tual heart goes way back - goes back many incarnations. We call it the soul.

Look at the people you don't love and see them as an exercise for you to open your heart.

When you are completely identified with your thinking mind you are totally separate from everything else in the universe.

These are planes of consciousness, and I think human beings exist on two planes of consciousness, the soul and the ego.

It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos.

If you keep examining your mind, you'll come to see that thoughts of who you are and how it all is are creating the reality you're experiencing.
