Meditation is culture.

Sri Chinmoy

Russell Simmons

Meditation helps everything.

Rajneesh

Meditation is just being delighted in your own presence... where you are not doing anything. The moment doing enters, you become tense; anxiety enters immediately. How to do? What to do? How to succeed? How not to fail? You have already moved into the future.

Rajneesh

When you are in deep meditation, you feel a great serenity, a joy that is unknown to you, a watchfulness that is a new guest. Soon this watchfulness will become the host. The day the watchfulness becomes the host, it remains twenty-four hours with you. And out of this watchfulness, whatever you do has a wisdom in it. Whatever you do shows a clarity, a purity, a spontaneity, a grace.

Rajneesh

To me the greatest problem with humanity is that they don't know anything of meditation.

Rajneesh

Everything can become a meditation if you live it totally and intensely. And then your life becomes whole.
