On Meditation Quotes

“If your mind is already purified, if you don’t have hatred towards anyone in the outside world, and your emotions are under some control, then from there one naturally ascends into a higher state of spiritual experience.”
― Sri M., On Meditation: Finding Infinite Bliss and Power Within

“The key is restraint. Control. Just before you speak, think: ‘What am I going to say? Who am I going to say it to? Is this the right situation to say it?’ You get good food, eat it, but always restrain yourself and say, ‘Oh, maybe this could be shared by two?’ Everything has to be a restraint in your daily life. If that kind of restraint is there, then slowly, the mind gets purified.”

“Words can cause a great deal of problem. Sometimes you can hit somebody, you can slap somebody, and it may be forgotten in a day or two, but if you use words which hurt the person, he or she might carry it for life. So therefore, when you speak, watch carefully. This is very important in your spiritual life; it’s not that you simply have to sit down and meditate.”
― Sri M., On Meditation: Finding Infinite Bliss and Power Within

“Remember, the keywords are dharana, dhyana and samadhi. In samadhi, you are so absorbed, you have forgotten yourself. You are only that.”
― Sri M., On Meditation: Finding Infinite Bliss and Power Within

“There is an un-conditioned consciousness and bliss which is in all of us in the form of a little spark inside of our being, in the core of our being. The prerequisite for touching that is that you decondition yourself from the thought that ‘I am limited’, ‘I am this body’, ‘I cannot do this’ and ‘I cannot do that’.
The conditioning process, on one side, is philosophical, and on the other side, it is practical.
There are practical ways of keeping your limiting thoughts in abeyance, at least for a while, and gradually increasing the time that you spend in an un-conditioned, blissful, super energy state. This is the practice or sadhana which is about how to zero in or go into the essence of this being. An essence which is not anywhere outside, but right inside us. An essence which is equally there for all beings, whether we have discovered it or not. An essence that can be touched through the practice of meditation.”
