“Can a deaf person describe sound? Can you define the taste of sweetness or happiness? Name and form are the illusions of God. Both are beyond expression and have no meaning. The only self-existence of the supreme sovereign is atma (Self)”
—Baba Mahesh Das

“We need to go beyond the states of mind and direct our energy within into the stillness of the self. Stay in that silence. Identify who you are, reside in yourself. Meditation means staying in pure consciousness”
—Bodhi Chitananda

“What you ‘do’ is work, not dhyana. Desireless desire is dhyana, complete knowledge of oneself and the supreme external force is dhyana. Thoughtlessness and full consciousness is meditation. We meditate every day, but are simply not aware of it”
—Swami Hariharan
