It is the Path of the Good Mind which Thou hast manifested to me, O Ahura! Whereby the welldoers, in accordance with the teaching of the Spiritual Guides, acting in harmony with Truth alone, Shall pass onward to the assigned reward of which Thou art the bestower, O Mazda! This precious reward of Thine, O Mazda, Thou givest by way of the Good Mind, Thou givest to those who perform actions through knowledge and pure thought; who attempt for the progress and development of the world; fulfil God’s desire and try for the progress of God’s Will through truth and righteousness.

-Scriptures "Yasna 34, Verse 13-14"

The energy of the mind is the essence of life.

-Aristotle "Aristotle"

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"

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"

No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind" that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably end up being angry.

-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

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"

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

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colours, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

-Rainer Maria Rilke "Rainer Maria Rilke"

Brain understands the things by dissecting them because all it knows is the tangible objects. But mind does not recognize the tangible objects differently; it only understands the vibrations and their intensities and depths. It is only due to our inability to establish a mutual communication between the two, that we all are total failures.

-Deep Trivedi
