The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.
-Vedas
We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
-Henry A. Kissinger
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
-Deep Trivedi
Everything is the Supreme Being, which is existence-consciousness-bliss. I am That. By constantly cultivating this pure thought, get rid of impure thoughts.
-Bible
If I choose abstraction over reality, it is because I find it the lesser chaos.
-Robert Brault
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
-Sarah Dessen
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger
Thoughts are the medium through which the ego, the limited self, appears and paves the way for all our likes and dislikes, pleasure and pain.
-A Spiritual Leader
