Каждый раз, когда кто-то из нас решает посвятить себя созерцательной практике, мы меняем свой мир, определяем свое будущее и способствуем обновлению понимания и осмысленности в современном обществе. Практикуя, мы можем вновь открыть для себя универсальные истины о собственной самости, о своем благом потенциале, о природе подлинного счастья и о роли сознания во Вселенной. В прошлом открывателями этих истин становились великие традиции мудрости человеческой цивилизации — включая религию, философию и науку. Сейчас мы имеем возможность пережить величайшее в истории возрождение, впервые объединив древние и современные прозрения Востока и Запада. Человечеству пора сделать следующий шаг в духовной эволюции — так, чтобы мы смогли успешно ответить на вызовы современного мира и достигли процветания в мире, который нас только ожидает.
