“I intend 'Dämmerung' to be an ironic meditation on the financial rewards of poetry and a tragicomic lament on the passing of time and the changes in literary taste. The other poets mentioned are my poetic cohort from the U.K. I wrote the piece in situ, as it were, while making a television documentary about World War I in Germany.” WorldWarPiecesMeditationTelevisionPoetTasteRewardsFinancialPassingPassingsWar Of The WorldsGermanyPoeticIronicWorld War IDocumentariesLament Author:Simon Armitage
“Meditation is not concentration. It is simple awareness. You simply relax and watch the breathing. In that watching, nothing is excluded. The car is humming - perfectly okay, accept it. The traffic is passing - that's okay, part of life. The fellow passenger snoring by your side, accept it. Nothing is rejected. You are not to narrow down your consciousness.” LifeSidesSimpleConsciousnessAcceptingWatchesMeditationAwarenessCarOkayFellowsPassingPassingsBreathingRelaxConcentrationRejectedTrafficParts Of LifePassengersYour SideExcludedHummingSnoring Author:Rajneesh
“There is a wonderful documentary called 'A Room to Breathe,' where a school brought in a TM instructor, to try and establish a better classroom environment, and the results and transformations were profound. It's impossible to ignore, and we make some passing references in my film, but 'A Room to Breathe' is a closer look at just how powerful meditation can be.” TryingLooksSchoolFilmRoomsResultsPowerfulEnvironmentMeditationWonderfulImpossibleTransformationProfoundBreathePassingPassingsClassroomDocumentariesInstructors Author:James Redford
“Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet.” NeedsStillsMeditationSourceTruth IsQuietTestsRewardsAncientPassingPassingsPrimariesMeritPrizeBehaviourUnborn Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
