Today's Quotes:

"I empty myself of myself
so that God can flow into me
and we become One."
-Rumi

"A monk decides to meditate alone.
Away from his monastery, he takes a boat and goes to the middle of the lake, closes his eyes and begins to meditate.
After a few hours of unperturbed silence,
he suddenly feels the blow of another boat hitting his. With his eyes still closed, he feels his anger rising and, when he opens his eyes, he is ready to shout at the boatman who dared to disturb his meditation.

After that, whenever he meets someone who irritates or provokes his anger, he remembers;
the other person is just an empty boat.
Anger is inside me. "
-Thich Nhat Hanh (adapted from Chuang Tzu)

"When anger comes to you, it is not going to kill you. It has been with you many times before, and you have survived perfectly well. It is the same anger that you have been through before. Just do one thing new- which you have never done; every time you get involved with it, fighting. This time just watch as if it does not belong to you, as if it is somebody else's anger. And you are in for a great surprise: it will disappear within seconds. And when anger disappears without any struggle, it leaves behind it a tremendously beautiful and silent and loving state. The same energy that could have become a fight with the anger is left within you. Pure energy is delight."
-Osho, The Invitation, Talk #4

"Real silence is explosive; it is not the dead state of mind that spiritual seekers think. This is volcanic in its nature; it's bubbling all the time - the energy, the life - that is its

0:27.6	God morning to you, close your eyes and on your next exhale breathe out all of your thoughts.
0:42.7	Inhale silence and again breathe out your thoughts.
0:50.9	They're just thoughts, just noise. They don't belong to you.
1:00.5	So breathe them out.
1:03.1	A firm as Rumi did, I emptied myself of myself so that God can flow into me and we become
1:16.7	one. Empty yourself of yourself. Breathe your way back into love as you listen to the
1:27.6	story from Changzhu.
1:31.4	Amongst decided to meditate alone away from his monastery, he took his boat out to the
1:37.3	middle of the lake, anchored it there, closed his eyes and began meditating. After a few
1:44.2	hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly felt the bump of another boat colliding with
1:49.2	his own. With his eyes still closed, he felt his anger rising and by the time he opened
1:56.4	his eyes, he was ready to scream at that boatman who had so carelessly disturbed his meditation.
2:02.6	But when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that it was an empty boat that had
2:08.1	struck his own. It had probably gotten untethered and floated to the middle of the lake.
2:14.2	At that moment, the monk had a great realization. He understood that the anger was within him.
2:21.8	It merely needed that bump of an external object to provoke it out of him. From then on,
2:27.9	whenever he came across someone who irritated him or provoked him to anger, he would remind
2:32.7	himself that the other person was merely an empty boat, that the anger was within him.
2:40.8	The next time anger is felt, experienced in your vessel and your emptiness, recognize
2:47.8	that you have felt it before, that it's not different from last time, or the time before
2:55.4	that, or the time before that, that it's been with you your whole life. And at one point
