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 |
