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
Quotations
Mind
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
-A Spiritual Leader "B. K. S Iyengar"
The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
-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"
It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
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.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
The secret to take life forward is only known to your 'mind', and mind and brain
have no communication. Hence, the matters which your brain thinks will make
you grow, know for sure that they will push you back in life and the ones that you
feel will push you back in life, understand that these are the matters which will
help you sail the summit of success.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
