"Anyone who does not at least spend one hour daily in meditation, is as good as dead."
People who rely only on their senses for information cannot experience the truth. That is why scientists will never discover spiritual experiences. Not until they conduct their experiments with more then physical instruments. We must experiment within.
i am so used to the information provided by my senses and the outer world that i have to remind self to set in silence at least twice a day to experience some truth.
Yes, exactly.
I remember some of the insights that meditation gave to Brother Turiyananada. Once he told me we needed to terrace the hill beside the Lake Shrine where the new church stands. i asked him why. He said because he saw dark astral clouds. i asked him what they meant. He told me that it could rain and the hill could have mud run down on the adjacent property full of condominiums and we do not want to be responsible for that.. i volunteered some help. Six months later the Los Angeles mud slides occurred and many homes were damaged.
