Quotes on Meditation
by: Sri Chinmoy
Nothing impresses me any more,
save and except
My own deep meditations.
Meditation stops
The sound-loving mind.
To my greatest relief,
I have silenced
My questioning mind.
When I pray,
I feel I am tiny,
very tiny.
When I meditate,
I feel I am vast,
very vast.
When I contemplate,
I feel I am neither tiny nor vast -
I am just a player
Who plays hide and seek with God.
When I pray,
I clearly see that God is coming down
From Above.
When I meditate,
I clearly see that God is already seated
Inside my heart.
My Lord,
When I most intensely pray and meditate,
The world badly misunderstands me.
My Lord, what shall I do?
"My child, you have only one world,
And that world is all love.
It needs neither understanding
Nor misunderstanding."
When we pray and meditate
Sincerely and soulfully,
We receive an open-hearted invitation
From Heaven.
