| Mind is a door that leads you outside in the world; meditation is the door that leads you to your interiority-to the very innermost shrine of your being. |
| My whole effort here is to keep you as non-serious as possible, for the simple reason that meditation, all kinds of meditation, can make you too serious and that seriousness will create a spiritual disease and nothing else. Unless a meditation brings you more laughter, more joy, more playfulness, avoid it. It is not for you. |
| Meditation, perhaps, is the only alchemy that can transform a beggar into an emperor. |
| Meditation is the most significant because it opens the door for all other significant things: love, prayer, God, light, music, poetry. |
| One hour of contemplation surpasses sixty years of worship. |
| To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. |
| Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation. |
| Contemplation places us in a purity and radiance which is far above our understanding. |
| If you can't meditate in a boiler room, you can't meditate. |
| Meditation is a silent heart, a peaceful mind which can make life more lovable, more livable.. |
