The Gift of Contemplation

August 19, 2017 by Andrew

Water by Mark Galer

“True contemplation is not a psychological trick but a theological grace. It can come to us ONLY as a gift, and not as a result of our own clever use of spiritual techniques.” – Thomas Merton

“Let us teach real joy to others! Many have unlearned it. Life, though full of woe, holds also sources of happiness and joy, unknown to most. Let us teach people to seek and to find real joy within themselves and to rejoice with the joy of others! Let us teach them to unfold their joy to ever sublimer heights!”

– Nyanaponika Thera
