If a king is energetic, his subjects will be equally energetic. If he is reckless, they will not only be reckless likewise, but also eat into his works. Besides, a reckless king will easily fall into the hands of his enemies. Hence the king shall ever be wakeful. Chanakya
To begin to meditate is to look into our lives with interest in kindness and discover how to be wakeful and free. Jack Kornfield
