" The study of one year and the meditation of one day are equal. By this meditation is meant the right kind of meditation. If a person closes his eyes and sits doing nothing, he may just as well go to sleep. Meditation is not only an exercise to be practiced; in meditation the soul is charged with new light and life, with inspiration and vigor; in meditation there is every kind of blessing. "

― Hazrat Inayat Khan , The Way of Illumination (The Sufi Teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan Book 1)
