“Meditation may require a lifetime to master, but it will have been a lifetime well spent.” If you want to judge your progress, ask yourself these questions: Am I more loving? Is my judgment sounder?

Spiritual awareness reveals itself as eloquently in character development and selfless action as in mystical states.”
