-Vedas "Atharva Veda"

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"

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.

Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed in surgically removing those miseries from your body.

-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"
