Quotes on Meditation - Compiled by Music for Deep Meditation |
Here are some of our favorite meditation quotes:
1. "It is an excellent time for meditative practices. Turning within and being aware of the inner light is a stabilizing force. When we experience our own inner light, it radiates outward to the whole world. Turning within toward the inner light projects an uplifting energy to those around us. And now is a time when the world needs light the most." D.R. Butler
2. "Meditation is our natural state; it is our soul state. When we are in meditation, or in Samadhi, in that experience, months, days, years, we do not count the time." Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi)
3. "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." Bruce Lee
4. "The love between you and me, O my beloved, can only be known by my soul, and my soul is with you." The Ramayana
5. "Make your mind one-pointed in meditation, and your heart will be purified. . . . With senses and mind constantly controlled through meditation, united with the Self within, an aspirant attains nirvana, the state of abiding joy and peace in me." The Bhagavad Gita
6. "Concentrate on Om in the heart centre as though it is like a candle flame the same size as your thumb." Dhyana Bindu Upanishad
7. "Let Om be the bow, mind the arrow, and Higher Consciousness the target. Those who want enlightenment should reflect on the sound and meaning of Om. When the arrow is released from the bow it goes straight to the target." Dhyana Bindu Upanishad
8. "If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world." Sri Chinmoy
9. "Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom." Lord Buddha
10. "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become." The Buddha

3. "Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured." B.K.S. Iyengar

In Wisdom Contemplations on the Gradual Path, Dr. Neale delivers a series of analytic meditations designed to foster intuitive realization of ones true nature. By utilizing the tranquil mind for inquisitive examination of particular themes such as the causes of suffering, the possibility of freedom and universal interdependence, one develops liberating insights that lead to inner contentment and outer harmony. This series of meditations explore key themes from the Indo-Tibetan Gradual Path (Lam Rim) tradition established in the eleventh century by Master Atisha, which provides a systematic, comprehensive and accessible approach to contemplative learning and life-long education.
Track 1 provides clear and concise instructions on how to follow the Gradual Path (Lam Rim) contemplations, alternating between analytic meditation and periods of resting the mind in its natural sate. Track 2 offers The Four Thoughts for Turning the Mind, a series of preliminary reflections designed to motivate one to abandon compulsive living and embrace conscious living. Track 3 presents the Four Noble Truths, Buddhas psychology of suffering and happiness. In Track 4, one is guided through the Four Keys of Self-Analysis that leads to the liberating realization of selflessness and interconnectivity. Finally, Track 5 is the method for Resting in the Natural State, which allows the mind to absorb and metabolize the insights evoked by the other tracks.
In this his third album, Dr. Neale distills the essence of the Gradual Path contemplations, and presents the wisdom practice of clear seeing that makes conscious living so worthwhile and meaningful. These guided meditations, designed to be played repeatedly, allow learning to deepen over time from intellectual and reflective levels to lasting intuitive insight. Promises to be his most significant contribution yet.
