"Those who are simply here now is this very moment with me are in meditation. This is meditation – the cuckoo calling from far away and the airplane passing and the crows and the birds and all is silent and there is no movement in the mind. You are not thinking of the past and you are not thinking of the future. Time has stopped. The world has stopped. Stopping the world is the whole art of meditation. And to live in the moment is to live in eternity. To taste the moment with no idea, with no mind, is to taste immortality."

"And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about."
