A shark in a fish tank will grow to be 8 inches, but in the ocean it will grow to 8 feet or more. A shark will never outgrow its environment and the same is true about you. Change your environment and watch your growth accelerate.

Suppose you are in the desert, and you only have one glass of muddy water. You have to transform the muddy water into clear water to drink, you cannot just throw it away.

Without anger you have nothing left. That is the work of meditation.

Elsewhere on the site I have cited scientific evidence demonstrating the health benefits of meditation.…
