Meditation is to religion what experimentation is to science. Without it, results are haphazard and unsatisfactory at best.
Do not wait until tomorrow to meditate. Do not wait until tomorrow to be good. Be good now. Be calm now. It will be the turning point of your life.
Be calmly active, and actively calm.
Meditation develops concentration, so essential for success in every activity.
As long as a restless thought or a bodily motion remains, you cannot hear the Inner Voice, or see with the Inner Eye. In other words, God will not enter your temple.

Enjoy everything with the Infinite and you will be happy in that consciousness.
