More quotes by Eknath Easwaran

Love is so exquisitely elusive. It cannot be bought, cannot be badgered, cannot be hijacked. It is available only in one rare form: as the natural response of a healthy mind and healthy heart.

To enjoy anything, we cannot be attached to it.

We all need joy, and we can all receive joy in only one way, by adding to the joy of others.

Patience can't be acquired overnight. It's just like building up a muscle. Every day you need to work on it.

Your life is your message (1992)

But patience can't be acquired overnight. It's just like building up a muscle. Every day you need to work on it, to push its limits.
