Through Meditation And By Giving Full Attention

The Sufis Advise Us To Speak Only After Our Words Have Managed To Pass Through Three Gates. At The First Gate, We Ask Ourselves, 'are These Words True?' If So, We Let Them Pass On; If Not, Back They Go. At The Second Gate, We Ask, 'are The Necessary?' At The Last Gate, We Ask, 'are They Kind?'

This Is The Central Principle Of Meditation: We Become What We Meditate On.

Activity Is Not Achievement. It Is Not Enough To Rush About Beginning A Lot Of Things And Keeping Busy. A Well-spent Life Is One That Rounds Out What It Has Begun.

Imagine A Hot Tub For The Mind. That Is What Meditation Is; It Can Bathe Your Mind In Relaxing Thoughts.

The Real Essentials Of Life - Compassion, Kindness, Good Will, Forgiveness - Are What Is Fundamental To Living As A True Human Being.
