Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.

-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"

Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.

-A Spiritual Leader "Buddhadasa Bhikkhu"

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"

There is a deep connection between mind and body. If the acid level rises in the body, it often leaves you worried. At the same time, it is also true that if your nature is negative, even if you eat "fruits", you will feel acidic.

-Deep Trivedi

The root of complex gets strengthened by competitive teachings. Nothing in this world can be more foolish than comparing two things or two individuals.

-Deep Trivedi

With all fears dissolved in the peace of the Self and all desire dedicated to Brahmn, controlling the mind and fixing it on Me (God), sit in meditation with Me as your only goal.

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.12-15"

Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.

-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 116-18"

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"

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"

'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?
