Meditation is nothing but the discovery of the inner sense.

To repress it is to destroy a human quality.

Your very presence will trigger revolutions in other people's lives.

Unless a person decides that `Whatever the cost, I want just to be myself. Condemned, unaccepted, losing respectability - everything is okay but I cannot pretend anymore to be somebody else`...

Then you can be simply yourself, just as you are. And the moment you can be just as you are, there is tremendous peace that passeth understanding.
