“Meditation is very popular now. They don’t say ‘meditate to find God,’ but ‘meditate to relax, to become healthier, feel better, live longer and be successful.’ That is, to be successful in every aspect, we must choose a time during the day to rest, not to sleep, but to meditate, or breathe in, breathe out, or whatever. Everyone knows about it now because science has proven it. If we choose a time during the day to rest or meditate, our bodies become healthier. One of the best methods is meditation; that is, choosing a time to meditate every day."

“It’s a time for you to treasure. We’ve worked all day, busily taking care of the world and others. So whenever we meditate, that’s a time for us. We must love ourselves first — love others but also love ourselves.”

“It’s very good for you. The most precious time for you since the moment you were born and until you die is meditation time. It’s the best thing you do for yourselves. No one can give it to you; only you can give it to yourselves. It’s the best thing that you can do for yourselves — meditation. While you do it for yourselves, others will naturally benefit as well. Your family, relatives, dogs and cats will also benefit. Trees and flowers will benefit too.”
