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"
Quotations
Mind
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
The depths of our mind has an "auto tuning" with nature. Once a person has
started living from these depths...no harm can ever be caused to him.
-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"
'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
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"
Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
No vibration emanating from our "mind" can ever be suppressed nor can any
vibration be created in mind... they can only be transformed.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 1-2"
The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
-Deep Trivedi
