• Meditation
  practice begins by sitting down and assuming your seat cross-legged on
  the ground. You begin to feel that by simply being on the spot, your
  life can become workable and even wonderful. You realize that you are
  capable of sitting like a king or queen on a throne. The regalness of
  that situation shows you the... dignity that comes from being still and
  simple.

• The issue of redistribution of resources and wealth needs to resolved systemically, but in the meantime but there are individual spots you can occupy. There are things that you can do on a daily basis that will make a difference in moving the needle in individual lives.
