Flower of the Day: 10/12/14
"As
you cultivate silence, even if it may be in one-minute intervals, you
begin to lord over your mind, until you are able to abandon it and use
it only when necessary. You can use the mind to make calculations or
plan your day, but should be able to let it rest when it is not needed.
This is the key to freedom."
Sri Prem Baba
