“Meditation is a transcendence of all identities. We are identified with the mind and the body, The first step of meditation is to transcend identity and to become aware that we are not the mind and the body.
The second step of meditation is to become aware that we are identified with the heart, with our feelings and emotions. These are the steps in meditation that we are identified with; the body, the mind and the heart. Out of these steps in meditation comes the most positive phenomenon in existence: suddenly we become aware of who we are.
And then a miracle happens: out of knowing who we are we suddenly attain the biggest yes in our life. You attain a total yes, an absolute yes, a sacred yes. That yes is a transcendence of all misery, of all ignorance and of all bondage.
You become part of eternity. You become part of God. You become God himself. That is the ultimate goal of meditation.”

“Meditation is an essential travel partner on your journey of personal transformation. Meditation connects you with your soul, and this connection gives you access to your intuition, your heartfelt desires, your integrity, and the inspiration to create a life you love.”
“Meditation is an inner journey. It is a journey from your periphery to your inner being, your center. Normally we have lived on the
periphery for many lives, so we have become totally oblivious of the fact that we have a center.
A man living on the periphery is without a soul. It is a man living without roots. He knows not where he his coming from, he knows not where he is and he knows not where he is going.
Meditation means an effort to become conscious. It means to create the fire of awareness in you. It is to find the inner being, the center, in us, because it is there. Once we have found the inner center, we find our roots. Then we have a soul. We know who we are. And that is the greatest moment in a man's life. It opens up the mystery of life. Suddenly God becomes available in all its joy, beauty and mystery.
Then life becomes eternal. Then there is no death. Then our life becomes a joy.”
