The present moment...

People ask me what my religion is.  I tell them "My religion is kindness."

Tenzin Gyatso  (His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama)

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?

Sai Baba

The present moment is where life can be found, and if you don't arrive there, you miss your appointment with life.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Concentration is to bind consciousness to a single spot.

Patanjali

Where does the body end and the mind begin?  Where does the mind end and the spirit begin?  They cannot be divided as they are interrelated and but different aspects of the same all-pervading divine consciousness.

B.K.S. Iyengar  (Light on Yoga)

The Silence-Listen my child, to the silence.  An unknowing silence, a silence that turns valleys and echoes slippery, bends foreheads toward the ground.

Federico Garcia Lorca

The attainment of wholeness requires one to stake one's whole being. Nothing less will do; there can be no easier conditions, no substitutes, no compromises.

C.G. Jung

Give up wanting what other people have.

Rumi
