Within yourself
Is a stillness, a sanctuary
To which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
- Herman Hess

The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.
- Zen saying

Pearls lie not on the seashore.
If you desire one
Thou must dive for it.
- Chinese Proverb

Your vision will become clear only when
You can look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakes.
- Carl Jung

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me,
And without a doubt you shall be united with me,
Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.
- Bhagavad Gita

Sit quietly doing nothing,
And the grass grows by itself.
- Zen saying

Nowhere can man find a quieter or
More untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
- Marcus Aurelius

Honor your Self. Worship your Self.
Meditate on your Self. God dwells within you as you.
- Swami Muktananda

One hour's meditation on the work of the Creator
Is better than seventy years of prayer.
- Muhammad

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet.
It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there
Buried under the 50,000 thoughts
The average person thinks every day.
- Deepak Chopra

Meditation is listening to the Divine within.
-Edgar Cayce


Stillness is your essential nature. 
What is stillness? 
The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page
Are being perceived and become thoughts. 
Without that awareness, there would be
No perception, no thoughts, no world. 

You are that awareness, disguised as a person.
- Ekchart Tolle
