Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.
Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
The worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
