“Meditation is like going to the bottom of the sea, where everything is calm and tranquil. On the surface of the sea there may be a multitude of waves but the sea is not affected below. In its deepest depths, the sea is all silence. When we start meditating, first we try to reach our own inner existence, our true existence- that is to say, the bottom of the sea. Then when the waves come from the outside world, we are not affected. Fear, doubt, worry and all the earthly turmoils just wash away, because inside us is solid peace. Thoughts cannot touch us, because our mind is all peace, all silence, all oneness. Like fish in the sea, they jump and swim but leave no mark. When we are in our highest meditation, we feel that we are the sea, and the animals in the sea cannot affect us. We feel that we are the sky, and all the birds flying past cannot affect us. Our mind is the sky and our heart is the infinite sea. This is meditation.”

“It is only through meditation that we can get lasting peace, divine peace. If we meditate soulfully in the morning and receive peace for only one minute, that one minute of peace will permeate our whole day. And when we have a meditation of the highest order, then we really get abiding peace, light and delight. We need meditation because we want to grow in light and fulfill ourselves in light. If this is our aspiration, if this is our thirst, then meditation is the only way.”

“Every second a seeker can start over,For his life's mistakesAre initial draftsAnd not the final version.”

“When we encourage othersWith no personal motives,We raise high, very high,Humanity's progress-standard.”

“The language of the heartIs the only languageThat everybody can understand.”

“I begin by imagining The impossibleAnd end by accomplishingThe impossible.”

“Just one smileImmensely increases the beauty Of the universe.”

“Not what happens to youBut how you accept itIs of paramount importance.”

“Smile, smile, smile at your mind as often as possible. Your smiling will considerably reduce your mind's tearing tension.”

“If the inner world is inundated with peace, then the nightmare of world war cannot even come into being.”

“Your heart will be shattered by sorrow if you force it to live in tomorrow's ephemeral imagination - world instead of in today's eternal reality - now.”
