Rajneesh
Indian - Priest
December 11, 1931 - January 19, 1990

Meditation is like the moon: it transforms the energy of lust into love, anger into compassion, greed into sharing, aggressiveness into receptivity, ego into humbleness.

Rajneesh

In meditation you are not unconscious, you are conscious - more conscious than ever.

Rajneesh

It's the ones who can't let go - of fear or anger, lust or greed, vanity or pride or power - who are most at risk of becoming corrupted.

Kate Elliott

If you are angry you will share anger, if you are greedy you will share greed, if you are full of lust you will share your lust. We can share only that which we have, we cannot share that which we don't have. This has to be the fundamental thing to be remembered; hence the first step is meditation and the second step is compassion.

Rajneesh

There are three all-powerful evils: lust, anger and greed.

Tulsidas

Lust, Greed, Anger, Attachment - These are all paths to hell.

Neem Karoli Baba

The real alchemy is transforming the base self into gold or into spiritual awareness. That's really what new alchemy's all about.

Fred Alan Wolf

Do not follow vain desires; for verily he who prospers is preserved from lust, greed and anger.

Abu Bakr

One cannot completely get rid of the six passions: lust, anger, greed, and the like. Therefore one should direct them to God. If you must have desire and greed, then you should desire love of God and be greedy to attain Him.

Ramakrishna

Whether we meditate individually or collectively, there is one thing we absolutely must do: we have to meditate consciously. Making an unconscious effort is like forcing oneself to play football in spite of one's utmost unwillingness. One plays, but gets no joy. Conscious effort is like playing football most willingly. One gets real joy. Similarly, conscious meditation gives us inner Delight from the soul.

Sri Chinmoy

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no greater guilt than discontent. And there is no greater disaster than greed.

Laozi

There is no greater fault than sensual indulgence. There is no greater misfortune than malcontent. There is no greater calamity than greed.

Laozi

What is cheaper than lust or of less value than alchemy or aphrodisiacs?

Avram Davidson

Meditation gives you two things: equanimity and creativity. And it does that by taking one from their conscious mind, where there's all that noise and chaos and so on, into the subconscious mind where there's quiet and where creativity emanates from. You have a mantra, and when you repeat it over and over again, all those thoughts go away because you shift them to that mantra. And then eventually that sound disappears, and then you're left not conscious or unconscious - you're left in this subconscious state, and by opening that up, first of all you get control of it.

Ray Dalio

It is true that some have greater power of resistance than others, but everyone has the power to close his heart against doubt, against darkness, against unbelief, against anger, against hatred, against jealousy, against malice, against envy. God has given this power unto all of us, and we can gain still greater power by calling upon Him for that which we lack. If it were not so, how could we be condemned for giving way to wrong influences?

George Q. Cannon

There are many winds full of anger, and lust and greed. They move the rubbish around, but the solid mountain of our true nature stays where it's always been.

Rumi
