| Mindfulness meditation doesn't change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart's capacity to accept life as it is. |
| Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity. |
| True meditation gives us, as it were, wings for flight to a higher realm and thus detaches us from terrestrial fetters. |
| Meditation is silence. If you realize that you really know nothing, then you will be truly meditating. Such truthfulness is the right soil for silence. Silence is meditation. |
| Meditation is the soul's perspective glass. |
| Meditation is not something that should be done in a particular position at a particular time. It is an awareness and an attitude that must persist throughout the day. |
| Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God. |
| We spend a great deal of time telling God what we think should be done, and not enough time waiting in the stillness for God to tell us what to do. |
| Meditation provides a way of learning how to let go. As we sit, the self we've been trying to construct and make into a nice, neat package continues to unravel. |
| Meditation is a valuable exercise, but eventually you have to open up your eyes and look around. |
