That Which We Seek Is Within

The key to the peace, security, and happiness we yearn for is within our own consciousness. The resources needed to make a difference in the world are hidden in our own hearts.
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

This is what we all want; peace, security and happiness. Often we think that if we had some material object or a certain relationship, these qualities of life that we seek would be ours. We forget that everything outside of ourselves changes. Relationships change and evolve; material objects get broken or damaged.  A quiet mind, cultivated with a regular meditation practice, allows us to experience what we seek. These qualities are unchangeable when we experience them from within. Acting from this place of inner peace and contentment affects the world around us in a positive way.
