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"

The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind initiates the process that leads to death.

-Deep Trivedi

The more you co-operate with mind, the more it will co-operate with you. You cannot push your mind against its will. It is only due to the teachings of compelling the mind to function in a certain manner that human being has become so pervert. The one who co-operates with his mind, always attains huge success in life.

-Deep Trivedi

Mind is consciousness, which has limitations. We are originally unlimited and perfect. Later on we take on limitations and become the mind…There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth.

-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"

If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.

-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"

No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.

-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"

The depths of our mind has an "auto tuning" with nature. Once a person has started living from these depths...no harm can ever be caused to him.

-Deep Trivedi

The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life, we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of our own.

-Deep Trivedi

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?

-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankaracharya"

'Mind' not only understands all the mysteries of existence but can also reveal their influence, in the life of any individual of this world with the precision of a clock... But then it is difficult to understand that instead of delving into our mind, what sort of trivial tasks have we entangled ourselves in?

-Deep Trivedi
