Quote of the day - Nov 12th

The way to lead the mind to peace is through the practice of meditation. Whatever is said of the many practices of all religions of the world, there can be no peace until the mind has been subdued. Not until the bliss of samadhi has been experienced can one truly know what calmness is. Once calmness has been experienced, the practice of meditation should be pursued with greater vigour. The difficulty, therefore, lies in getting oneself to sit and in reaching the state of calmness. Only when the thoughts of the mind are no longer continually arising and passing away will samadhi be experienced.
