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"

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"

A man, who realises the potential of his mind by means of introspection and contemplation, he does not lack self-confidence. He has control over his mind and he is able to realise its full potential

-Vedas "Sama Veda"

Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.

-Vedas "Rig Veda"

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

The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.

-Vedas "Atharva Veda"

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"

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

All that your mind absorbs from the external world will prove to be a deterrent, meaning it will push you back in life. Whatever your mind brings forth from within, will only make you grow in life.

-Deep Trivedi

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"
