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"

With all fears dissolved in the peace of the Self and all desire dedicated to Brahmn, controlling the mind and fixing it on Me (God), sit in meditation with Me as your only goal.

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.12-15"

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"

Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…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"

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

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"

Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.

-Deep Trivedi

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

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

Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.

-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
