It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

Flood your mind with love. Look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you have quarrelled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded, and the joy of tears will wash away all quarrels.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Chinmayananda"

Appreciate fully what you are eating, enjoy it fully, breathing and smelling the aroma to add to the taste, chewing slowly and well, to taste more and to digest better. Discover the subtleties of taste. Gently keep bringing the wandering mind back to tasting fully what you’re eating. Feel the difference! Give thanks for the chance to be able to enjoy what you eat.

-Anonymous "Kalari Kovilakom"

At the level of mind, self-confidence and capability are two sides of the same coin. If you have confidence in your mind, the capability is bound to reflect evidently.

-Deep Trivedi

Your focus is always on everything else, but you. The biggest proof is, even in dreams, rarely any of you would have seen your own face. Indeed, it is sad that not only in your conscious mind but even in your unconscious mind, your focus is only on others.

-Deep Trivedi

Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed in surgically removing those miseries from your body.

-Deep Trivedi

Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.

-Deep Trivedi

Always safeguard yourself from rules and resolves. Machines can be switched on and off at a fixed time regularly, whereas for mind, the dawn is when you wake up. Understand this difference between man and machine and save your life from becoming mechanical.

-Deep Trivedi

Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.

-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"

When you are inspired by some great purpose, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.

-Scriptures "Patanjali"
