Quotes by Acharya Shri Mahapragya
“Today, people have misunderstood the meaning of forbearance. Forbearance doesn’t mean cowardice, weakness or dumbness. Tolerance is an immense power. A weak mind can never be tolerant. It is a characteristic of the strong.”
-From The Happy and Harmonious Family, by Acharya Shri Mahapragya (page 68, Para 2)
“Do you know how to read the time on the watch. If you know to do so, then your work efficiency will increase, you will achieve success. To read the watch implies know ing time management. Every job should be done at the time when it is meant to be. If a job is not done at the right time then what is the use of reading the clock? Time consciousness, therefore, is necessary so that work keeps to time.”
-From Thoughts at Sunrise, by Acharya Shri Mahapragya (page 165)
The brain has two hemispheres—the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. Respiration through the right nostril activates the left hemisphere and through the left nostril activates the right hemisphere.
No provision exists in medical science for the purification of feeling.
Preksha meditation is principally concerned with vyaadhi (physical disease), aadhi (mental disease), upaadhi (emotional disease) and samaadhi (deep meditation).
The philosophy of medical science is not linked with the soul. Does not the nonrecognition of karma amount to a denial of an important dimension of therapy?
One’s objective and the method one adopts to realize it, must be in harmony with each other.
Without self-control, one can land oneself in a very dangerous situation.
Mental preparation for spiritual practice, the choice of a path, the determination of a goal and the acceptance of sadhana—these serve as four pillars of light for the practitioner of preksha meditation. In the light of these four pointers alone is progress in the field of sadhana possible.
There are five principles of Initiation in to Meditation:

The guru said briefly, “Success means samaadhi [deep concentration] and samaadhi is success.” The two connote one and the same thing. It may be the field of religion, of education or of business, only that man succeeds who has achieved samaadhi. One who has failed to achieve samaadhi, will not succeed anywhere.
Meditational technique of Jain philosophy, two most significant words are—dravya (virtual) and bhaava (real). I do something full consciously—this is bhaava. I act unconsciously, absent-mindedly, mechanically—this is dravya.
The secret of success is mindfulness and the cause of failure is unmindfulness.
Bhaava denotes the union of action and consciousness. The disunion of consciousness and action is dravya.
The secret of success is mindfulness.
Whatever we do, we must do it consciously.
Meditation is of two kinds—one time-bound, the other free, unbound, eternal.
How many times do we eat in a day? Twice, or at the most thrice. More than that, one must not eat. He who eats five or seven times a day, one who is eating all the time, lives not for himself, but for the doctors.
Mindfulness is necessary for success in life and mindfulness requires word-comprehension, comprehension of meaning and utilization of consciousness. It is only when all these three conditions are fulfilled that a man achieves success in life
Mindfulness has three dimensions—to keep awake forever, to live in the present and to act consciously.
