A lot of religions involve the external, whereas meditation deals with the internal. It is like taking a dirty car through a car wash. The car will come out clean and shiny on the outside, but the inside will remain dirty, in some cases filthy. With meditation, the car is cleaned from the inside first, and then the outside will be cleaned, often by nature, using the car in the rain.

It’s like most people are hypnotized. The only safe way to escape this hypnotism, is meditation.

Insecure people seek answers in all the wrong places.

It always pays to be closer to nature, than people.

Long distance running is meditation. When I finish a long run, it’s like my brain has been washed. All the stress and negative thoughts are left somewhere on those long kilometers. At the end, the illusions of the past and future are removed from my mind, and it is set back to zero, so I feel I am totally in the present moment, reset, and ready to restart my life afresh.

If the Universe is perceiving itself through us, this would explain why meditation is beneficial to our wellbeing, because when we meditate we see the Universe with more clarity, and are thus being rewarded by it.

We should never worry too much about what people think of us. But we should worry a lot about what the world of karma thinks of us.

Sometimes I feel someone is playing with my life. But then I realize it’s probably just me, playing with myself.

Those who never run long distance or meditate in their lifetimes, miss out on the best free drugs the planet has to offer.
