" Someone inquired of a Hindu who had a great serenity and peace about him, no matter what pressures were put upon him, “How do you maintain that serenity and peace?” His answer: “I never leave my place of meditation.” Every morning he meditated for thirty minutes. Then in his mind and heart he never left it—he maintained the spirit of that place all during his public life and pressures. "
