If we meditate soulfully in the morning and receive peace for only one minute, that one minute of peace will permeate our whole day.

If this is our aspiration, if this is our thirst, then meditation is the only way.Collection: Morning

Then we have to go deep within; there we have to observe our real existence.Collection: Real
