A person whose mind is unattached to sensual pleasures, who discovers the joy of the Self, and whose mind is in union with Brahmn through meditation, enjoys eternal bliss.

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 5.21"

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 ""

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 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"

-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"

At the level of mind, self-confidence and capability are two sides of the same coin. If you have confidence in your mind, the capability is bound to reflect evidently.

-Deep Trivedi

If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
