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.

Quotations
Mind
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
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"
The extent to which you depend on the capabilities of your own mind or on the
external knowledge and situation to resolve any issue, shows how deep a mind
you dwell in.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
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
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"
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"
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
Have you ever noticed that our maximum loss of energy occurs when we try to
restrain the flow of whatever that is coming from within?
-Deep Trivedi
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
