In the practice of sitting meditation you relate to your daily life all the time. Meditation practice brings our neuroses to the surface rather than hiding them at the bottom of our minds. It enables us to relate to our lives as something workable.

Creativity has two possibilities. One is that it arises out of your silence, love, understanding, your clarity of vision, your intimate friendliness with existence - then creativity is healthy. But if it does not arise out of meditation, out of silence and peace and understanding and love, then there is a danger. It may be arising out of your confused mind. It may be arising out of your insanity.

Meditation is to go beyond all thoughts.

Meditation is a state of no-mind! You cannot find meditation through the mind, because the mind will perpetuate itself! You can find meditation only by putting the mind aside, by being cool, indifferent, unidentified with the mind.

The Divine rejoices in your being happy. God, or the Creation, is so happy when you are happy. When you dance, sing, and jump up and down happily, that is true prayer, that is true meditation. Meditation is a fountain of joy, an ecstasy; and Divine enjoys that more. Divine is not fond of your suffering.

We are slaves of what we don't know; of what we know we are masters. Whatever vice or weakness in ourselves we discover and understand its cause and workings, we overcome it by the very knowing. The primary purpose of meditation is to become more conscious and familiar with our inner life. The ultimate purpose is to reach the source of life.

He who is persistent will realize God. So try your best to make meditation a regular experience in your life.
