Paul Brunton Quotes

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

Embrace silence since meditation is the only way to truly come to know your Source.

It is in that inner peace and stillness that things begin to happen, and it was in that peace and stillness that I began to hear God's voice.

By the practice of meditation, you will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise.

It is only in a very quiet mind that great things are born; and a quiet mind does not come about through effort, through control, through discipline.

I aspire only to silence.

A quiet mind cureth all.

When you quiet your mind, you can enter a world of clarity, peace and understanding.

Meditation means to be free from all phenomena and calmness means to be internally unperturbed. There will be calmness when one is free from external objects and is not perturbed.

Meditation is silence, energising and fulfilling. Silent is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible.

Whenever you meditate, there are glimpses. Then the mind comes in and says, 'Be happy! Look, I have done it.' And immediately the contact is lost.

I feel that I need to return to the pure stillness periodically. And then, when the teaching happens, just allow it to arise out of the stillness. So the teaching and stillness are very closely connected. The teaching arises out of the stillness. But when I'm alone, there's only the stillness, and that is my favorite place.

Just by being aware, thoughts start disappearing. There is no need to fight. Your awareness is enough to destroy them. And when the mind is empty, the temple is ready. And inside the temple the only god worth placing is silence. So those three words you have to remember: relaxation, thoughtlessness, silence. And if these three words are no more words to you but become experiences, your life will be transformed.

Meditation is my soul's soundless conversation with my inner pilot.

When you are in deep meditation you don't feel meditation, you feel bliss. When you are deep in meditation, when you are deep in awareness, you don't feel awareness, you feel bliss. When you begin to feel bliss, that means now you have begun to be aware. Awareness creates the situation in which bliss is felt.

The heart beats louder and the soul hears quicker in silence and solitude.

When you begin to meditate on a regular basis, you will start to notice that thoughts and feelings that may have been building up inside of you are gently released and you reach the quiet place that was always there, waiting for you- the place of pure awareness. It is there that you will experience peace, healing, and true rejuvenation.

Inner silence is not just the absence of thoughts. No! Silence is the blossoming of our indomitable inner will. Silence is our inner wisdom-light.

Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.

Remember: if you can cease all restless activity, your integral nature will appear.

It isn't necessary that you leave home. Sit at your desk and listen. Don't even listen, just wait. Don't wait, be still and alone. The whole world will offer itself to you.

Thought will not work except in silence.
