It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
Quotations
Mind
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
The despair, anger, worries, frustration, etc. hidden in your mind can only be
eliminated by understanding the "science of mind".
-Deep Trivedi
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"
“Make your offering,” said the Master. “As you make it be pleased in mind. Make your mind completely calm and contented. Focus and fill the offering-mind with the giving. From this secure position you can be free from ill will.”
-Sutta Nipata "Sutta Nipata 506"
The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with mind, you get bored and restless very easily. Boredom means the mind is hungry for more stimulus…it is not satisfied.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
-Bible "Romans 12.2"
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"
The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand
everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life,
we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of
our own.
-Deep Trivedi
The depths of our mind are forever bright and shining like the sun. It is we who
have cast a shadow of the brain and eclipsed it.
-Deep Trivedi
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
