The real purpose of any spiritual practice is to still the mind. Only when the mind is at rest is the world revealed as it truly is.

I looked for God. I went to a temple and did not find him there. I went to a church and did not find him there. I went to a mosque and did not find him there. Finally I looked in my heart, and there he was. ~ Rumi
If you seek the grace of God with your whole heart, then you may be assured
that the grace of God is also seeking you. ~ Ramana MaharshiBe still, and know that I am God. ~ Psalm 46:10
