What really matters is not just the practice of sitting
but far more the state of mind you find yourself in after meditation.
It is this calm and centered state of mind
you should prolong though everything you do.

~ Sogyal Rinpoche, Glimpse After Glimpse: Daily Reflections on Living and Dying

When You are contented, You are the richest person in the whole world.

AN INSTRUMENT OF THY PEACE/Swami Chidananda in the West

"0" man, know ye that renunciation is the law of life. Renunciation is the path that leads to friendliness, co‑operation and unity. Renounce selfishness, greed, hatred and egoism. Embrace love, humility, contentment and charity. You will have Rama Rajya or the Kingdom of Heaven here upon earth, right now.
~Swami Sivananda

He who is alike to foe and friend, who is balanced in pleasure and pain, heat and cold, honour and dishonour, censure and praise, who is without attachment and egoism, who is ever content and harmonious, who is compassionate, who does not hate any creature, is a devotee of God-realisation. He has crossed the three qualities."

- Holy Master Swami Sivananda
(From "Chapter: Adhyatma Yoga; Amrit Gita")
