“Meditation is so powerful because it leads us into a [new] order, a tranquility, a peace. This is so because our order of values changes. Instead of being based on self, on the ego, on success, on self-promotion, on all these limiting factors, our values system becomes based on God. We discover in the revelation that takes place in our heart, the revelation when we discover the presence of Jesus there, that God is love. This brings us to the conclusion that unleashes great power—that there is only one thing that matters ultimately, which is that we grow in love. Everything else is secondary. Everything else is consequential.” From John Main OSB, “The Way of Love” in The hunger for depth and meaning, ed. Peter Ng (Singapore: Medio Media, 2007), p.182,183.
