Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
Quotations
Mind
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
Mind is consciousness, which has limitations. We are originally unlimited and perfect. Later on we take on limitations and become the mind…There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
All that your mind absorbs from the external world will prove to be a deterrent,
meaning it will push you back in life. Whatever your mind brings forth from within,
will only make you grow in life.
-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"
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
Any physical inhibition is of no value. Valuable is the intelligence which can
transform your mind.
-Deep Trivedi
The entire human life is driven by mind, and mind functions according to its
laws... In that case, what can be more important in human life than knowing and
understanding these laws of mind?
-Deep Trivedi
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"
Be mindful of your duty to God, and do good works; and again, be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. God loves the doers of good.
-Quran "Quran 5.93"
