Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

-Bible "Romans 12.2"

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"

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

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

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"

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.

-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"

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 vibration emanating from our "mind" can ever be suppressed nor can any vibration be created in mind... they can only be transformed.

-Deep Trivedi

It is the Path of the Good Mind which Thou hast manifested to me, O Ahura! Whereby the welldoers, in accordance with the teaching of the Spiritual Guides, acting in harmony with Truth alone, Shall pass onward to the assigned reward of which Thou art the bestower, O Mazda! This precious reward of Thine, O Mazda, Thou givest by way of the Good Mind, Thou givest to those who perform actions through knowledge and pure thought; who attempt for the progress and development of the world; fulfil God’s desire and try for the progress of God’s Will through truth and righteousness.

-Scriptures "Yasna 34, Verse 13-14"

Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.

-A Spiritual Leader "B. K. S Iyengar"

The depths of our mind are forever bright and shining like the sun. It is we who have cast a shadow of the brain and eclipsed it.

-Deep Trivedi
