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"

Flood your mind with love. Look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you have quarrelled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded, and the joy of tears will wash away all quarrels.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Chinmayananda"

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"

'Mind' not only understands all the mysteries of existence but can also reveal their influence, in the life of any individual of this world with the precision of a clock... But then it is difficult to understand that instead of delving into our mind, what sort of trivial tasks have we entangled ourselves in?

-Deep Trivedi

Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.

-Deep Trivedi ""

If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.

-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"

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"

Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.

-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"

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
