All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

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"

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"

The science of mind is completely contrary to the knowledge of the brain. At the level of mind, as we regret doing the wrong deed, we repeatedly commit the same act. Hence, at the level of mind, it is advisable to understand, not repent.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

Good is that which elevates the mind and evil is that which degrades the mind. Social virtue and vice are temporal entities; they have nothing to do with your relationship with the Supreme.

-A Spiritual Leader "Shri Shri Anandamurti"

Excessive attachment to sense pleasures leads to bondage, and detachment from sense pleasures leads to liberation; therefore it is the mind alone that is responsible for bondage or liberation.

-Chanakya "Chanakya"

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 ""

The day you will be able to take your body where your "mind" is, I promise, all your miseries will disappear at that very moment.
