Like Gandhi, like the Buddha, like all great spiritual teachers, Easwaran had no use for beliefs unless they generated actions. Doing, not saying, is what counts.

A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is divine.

A calm mind releases the most precious capacity a human being can have: the capacity to turn anger into compassion, fear into fearlessness, and hatred into love.

Meditation is warm-up exercise for the mind, so that you can jog through the rest of the day without getting agitated or spraining your patience.

When someone at peace and free from hurry enters a room, that person has a calming effect on everyone present.

Patience can't be acquired overnight. It is just like building up a muscle. Every day you need to work on it.

Nothing really worth having comes quickly and easily. If it did, I doubt that we would ever grow.

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose.

When we go slower, we are more patient and when we are more patient we have a choice in how we respond.

When we meditate every morning we are putting on armor for the day's battle against our own impatience, inadequacy, resentment, and hostility.

The real essentials of life - compassion, kindness, good will, forgiveness - are what is fundamental to living as a true human being.

My mission is to make the external God of human society obsolete in front of humanity’s internal Godliness.

Look at towards the future! If you see something, it is your imagination only! Because the future is not there yet, it has not born yet!

Are you serving others or your are being served by others?

Wise men say nothing in dangerous times

Passion cannot be beautiful without excess; one either loves too much or not enough.

Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform and mortal men lay hold on heaven.

I do always like to do things I haven't done before, so I'm always looking out for things in a different genre, or a different sort of character.

I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.

I don't have anything to hide.

We are talking. It's a shame. What is said is murdered. Our words that will not grow any bigger or any lovelier will wilt inside our bones. Words wither feelings.
