Meditation and studying the scriptures are like two sides of a coin. The engraving on the coin is Selfless Service and that is what gives it its real value.
Once we develop the attitude that "I am love, the embodiment of love," then we need not wander in search of peace for peace will come in search of us.
Selfless service strengthens the mind so that you can overcome any situation in life.
When two people identify with each other, it is the sign of a true relationship. The intensity of love depends on the amount of identification there is between people.
A musk deer searches for the source of the fragrance of musk, but it won't find it because the fragrance comes from within itself. Bliss is not to be found outside of us; it exists within us.
Concentration and love are one - like two sides of a coin. Love should be there if you want concentration.
How to attain concentration? There are no short cuts. Constant practice is needed. In the beginning, it is a great thing if by chance we get even one or two minutes of concentration in an hour. We should make continuous and sincere effort without stopping until we gain one pointed concentration.
