If you begin the day with love in your heart, peace in your nerves, and truth in your mind, you not only benefit by their presence but also bring them to others—to your family or friends, and to all those whom destiny draws across your path that day.
3.3.1.4Listen The earth will continue to turn on its axis, with or without him. He is not so important as he thinks.
3.3.1.13Listen It is good to forget for twenty or thirty minutes each day the world and its affairs in order to remember the Overself and its serenity. This forgetfulness is exalting and uplifting in proportion to the distance it carries us from the ego.
3.3.1.24Listen A day begun with mental quiet and inner receptivity is a day whose work is well begun. Every idea, decision, move, or action which flows out from it later will be wiser better and nobler than it otherwise would have been.
3.3.1.25Listen The divine part of our being is always there; why then is it not available to us? We have to practise making ourselves available to It. We have to pause, listen inwardly, feel for Its blessed presence. For this purpose meditation is a valuable help, a real need.
3.3.1.124Listen His earthly business will not suffer in the end but he himself will gain much profit if he detaches himself from it once or twice a day to turn his attention toward celestial business for which he was really put on earth.
3.3.1.126Listen It is more than a short respite from personal troubles, more than a white magic which leads him away from a hard and crazy world: it is a return to the source of Life.
3.3.1.129Listen The man who cannot free himself for half an hour every day from overactivity whether in work or in entertainment is a self-made slave. To what better use could he put this small fraction of time than to withdraw for such a high purpose as seeking himself?
3.3.1.142Listen Is it too much to ask a man to pause in each of his busy days long enough to cultivate the one faculty--intuition--which offers him an utterly disproportionate return for the investment of time and attention?
3.3.1.147Listen A day may come when builders and architects will make a small room for silence and meditation a part of every structure--be it residential or business.
3.3.1.166Listen ... Every place has its mental atmosphere, formed from thousands of thoughts bred in it; and this is why I suggest that retreat now and then into a secluded place for spiritual self-development is something worthwhile for the aspirant who is compelled to live amid the tumults of a modern city.
3.3.1.186,Listen There are times when he must live a withdrawn life for a while if the slender young plant beginning to grow within him is to survive.
