Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself. And, when one begins to understand oneself, not only the conscious but all the hidden parts of oneself as well, then there comes tranquility. Meditation demands constant watchfulness, constant awareness of every word, thought and feeling, which reveals the state of our own being, and as that is arduous, we escape into every kind of conformity, deceptive thing and call it meditation. ↗

Arbeta inte med tanke på belöning. Låt uppgiften i sig vara din motivation, inte resultatet. Låt varken girighet eller lathet styra dig och var lika oberörd i din framgång som i misslyckande. Detta är jämnmod. Detta är att handla utan att vara bunden. ↗
