Inspiration Quote by Eknath Easwaran — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Good books are rare, and to have a really good library, a few shelves are all we need. When I was still on my campus in India, I was convinced, like many professors, that if the Lord was to be found anywhere, it was in the lower stacks of the library. But now - just as when I go into a big department store, I can say, "How many things I don't need! How many expensive suits I don't want!" - when I enter a big library I say, "What tomes I don't have to read again! What folios I will never open!" This feeling of freedom will come to all of us when we realise, in the depths of our meditation, that all wisdom lies within.”

“Why do you want a new truth when you do not practice what you already know?”

“Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose.”

“It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.”

“Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is.”

“More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.”

“He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.”

“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”

“Transformation does not start with some one else changing you; transformation is an inner self reworking of what you are now to what you will be.”
