It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

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"

The root of complex gets strengthened by competitive teachings. Nothing in this world can be more foolish than comparing two things or two individuals.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

Whoever has achieved great success in life, they have knowingly or unknowingly, firmly opted for one of the four ways of mind; joy, nature, independence or being natural and whatever the path once chosen, irrespective of the circumstances... they have incessantly followed it.

-Deep Trivedi

Your focus is always on everything else, but you. The biggest proof is, even in dreams, rarely any of you would have seen your own face. Indeed, it is sad that not only in your conscious mind but even in your unconscious mind, your focus is only on others.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

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"

All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc²; all of them have stemmed from within.

-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"
