When even one virtue becomes our nature, the mind becomes clean and tranquil. Then there is no need to practice meditation; we will automatically be meditating always. (151)
Swami SatchidanandaThe stones of a river start out rough, but with the current continually bumping and polishing them, they end up being beautiful.

The lips repeat the prayer mechanically like a phonograph record, but the mind wanders to other places. (23-24)
