The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

-Winston S. Churchill "Winston Churchill"

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"

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

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"

If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural phenomena and events unfolding around you.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc²; all of them have stemmed from within.

-Deep Trivedi

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

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

If the mind becomes balanced and detached, and comes to dwell in its own true home, imbued with the love of God, then it enjoys the essence of supreme spiritual wisdom; it shall never feel hunger again.

-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Sri Guru Granth Sahib"
