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 guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"

Only the person who knows how to strike a balance of mind can be happy and successful in life. Sin - virtue, good - bad are the teachings which disturb the equilibrium of our mind and unfortunately, these are the teachings which our religious gurus and scriptures are giving us in abundance. As a result, only one among millions is able to be happy and successful and that too, he who escapes their clutches.

-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"

Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.

-Deep Trivedi

Mind is like an ocean - stormy at the surface, calmest in the depths.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Veda Bharati"

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 worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.

-Scriptures "Anguttara Nikaya"

Your mind functions like a computer. It is only you, who has the authority to enter or delete the data from it. But giving this right to others, you have corrupted the computer of your mind.

-Deep Trivedi

A person whose mind is unattached to sensual pleasures, who discovers the joy of the Self, and whose mind is in union with Brahmn through meditation, enjoys eternal bliss.
