The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
-Deep Trivedi

Every portion of body, mind, and spirit yearns for integration of yin and yang… Where ordinary intercourse unites sex organs with sex organs, angelic cultivation unites spirit with spirit, mind with mind, and every cell of one body with every cell of the other body.
-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
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.

Delusion is a sort of demonic force. People’s original mind is pure but it becomes perverted due to delusion and other karmas.
-Scriptures "Kundakunda, Pancastikaya 38"
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.

-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.
-Scriptures "Astrid Alauda"
