True meditation gives us, as it were, wings for flight to a higher realm and thus detaches us from terrestrial fetters. – Paramananda

Meditation is a process of getting rid of the whole past, of getting rid of all diseases, of getting rid of all the pus that has gathered in you. It is painful, but it is cleansing, and there is no other way to cleanse you. – Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation. – John of the Cross

Your love will deepen as your meditation deepens, and vice-versa: as your meditation blossoms, your love will also blossom. – Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
