If you feel offended about something, you haven't been meditating enough. If you feel the need to defend yourself, or justify your opinion, you haven't been meditating enough. If you can't take joy in sitting under a tree on a beautiful day, you haven't been meditating enough.

Thibaut

Ramana Maharshi

Quiet mind, quiet soul.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Let every thought come and hug you, but you don't hug anything. Then, gradually, the noise will start to back off.

Mooji

Open the door of your calmness, and let the footsteps of silence gently enter the temple of all your activities.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Practice is this life, and realization is this life, and this life is revealed right here and now.
