Meditation

  "To what extend the habit of sitting still can impress and change us becomes clear only when we have taken pains to practice it."

"There is a story that tells of Meister Eckhart`s meeting with a poor man: "You may be holy,"says Eckhart, "but what made you holy,brother?"

And the answer comes: "My sitting still, my elevated thoughts and my union with God."
