Essence of the Divine

"The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the

practice of meditation."

-- Milarepa

In our busy schedules, we can often complain that we don’t have

time to meditate. But if we are sincere in our desire to go

inside, we can create our own moments of stillness in the midst

of our activity.

Stopped at a traffic light? Do some deep breathing. Waiting in

line at the bank or grocery store? Repeat an uplifting word such

as ‘love’ or ‘peace.’ Riding the bus to and from work? Value

these times as an opportunity to close your eyes and go within or

to say a little prayer.

"Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, carry

your stillness within you. Then the chaotic movement around you

will never overshadow your access to the reservoir of creativity,

the field of pure potentiality."

-- Deepak Chopra
