DVD 30: “Meditation is good for long vision. Whatever the consequences of certain acts, we can put on steel-rimmed spectacles and see those consequences.”
Bring the deep wisdom of the heart into daily life by meditating on spiritual passages that embody your highest ideals.
"The need to return to the source of our being is nothing less than an evolutionary imperative – the drive to realize our full human potential."
“Can you spend time with those you dislike for the sake of the greater good? If you can, you are making good progress on the spiritual path.”
Instruction in passage meditation
"This is the heart of my program: meditation for half an hour every morning, as early as is convenient. Do not increase this period; if you want to meditate more, have half an hour in the evening also, preferably at the very end of the day."
Saint Teresa of Avila: Her Heart
Is Full of Joy
“Her heart is full of joy with love, For in the Lord her mind is stilled.” Follow link to read passage and hear Easwaran recite it.
“Few human beings are born with the ability to weather storm and stress with grace. But everyone can learn.”
