"Meditation is the only way you can grow. There’s no other way out. Because when you meditate you are in silence, you are in thoughtless awareness. Then the growth of awareness takes place."

27th July 1988, New York, USA

"Now about meditation, you don’t have to meditate. You are 'in' meditation, where you become thoughtlessly aware. When you are in the present, spirituality starts growing."

2nd March 1992, Sydney, Australia

"Meditation is the only way you can enrich yourself with the beauty of reality. There is no other way. I cannot find any other way by which you rise into the realm of divinity. ... ...

So today is a day when you have to promise me that you will meditate every night, every evening, maybe in the morning also. Whenever it is possible, if you can go into meditative mood, you are in contact with this divine power.

Then whatever is good for you, whatever is good for your society, for your country, all is done by this divine power. You don't have to overpower the divine power. You don't have to order, you don't have to ask.

Just, if you meditate, you are one with this all-pervading power, which is another great blessing to us."
