Meditation is the highest form of prayer.
In it you are so close to God
that you don't need to say a thing -
it's just great to be together.
-Chetanananda
Meditation is just being with our inner friend.
-Chetanananda
We are sick with a fascination for useful tools
of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.
Meditation is therefore
the art of suspending verbal and symbolic thinking for a time,
somewhat as a courteous audience will stop talking
when the concert is about to begin.
-Alan Watts
The gift of learning to meditate
is the greatest gift you can give yourself in this lifetime.
-Lakar Rinpoche
Everything which disturbs our lives also disturbs our meditation;
and everything which helps meditation,
also helps our tranquillity and our success in daily life.
-Hans-Ulrich Rieker

-Hans-Ulrich Rieker
If we have anything in our life
that is not in accord with spiritual principles,
no amount of sitting still and trying to meditate
will brings us the blessing of contemplation.
-Paramananda
When performing meditation practice,
one should think of it as just a natural function of everyday life,
like eating or breathing,
not as a special, formal event
to be undertaken with great seriousness and solemnity.
One must realize that to meditate is to pass beyond effort,
beyond aims and goals...
-Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
Lose yourself in meditation.
No matter what feeling arises, let it be.
Do not fear.
The inner energy is filled
with infinite techniques, processes and feelings.
Its play is in everything.
Therefore, everything belongs to it,
and it is one with your Self.
-Muktananda
