Meditation does not mean just sitting quietly for five or ten minutes. It requires conscious effort. The mind has to be made calm and quiet; at the same time, it has to be vigilant so as not to allow any distracting thoughts or desires to enter.

By hating that person, you have lost something very sweet in yourself.

Is not falling down. Failure Is desiring to live Where I have fallen.

There is a peace That fruitfully lives for me Infinitely more Than I can live for myself.

Whether we meditate individually or collectively, there is one thing we absolutely must do: we have to meditate consciously. Making an unconscious effort is like forcing oneself to play football in spite of one's utmost unwillingness. One plays, but gets no joy. Conscious effort is like playing football most willingly. One gets real joy. Similarly, conscious meditation gives us inner Delight from the soul.

What is joy? It is a bird That we all want to catch. It is the same bird That we all love to see flying.

Enthusiasm Rules his inner world. Determination Rules his outer world. Therefore Happiness has become His real name.
