Delusion is a sort of demonic force. People’s original mind is pure but it becomes perverted due to delusion and other karmas.

-Scriptures "Kundakunda, Pancastikaya 38"

Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.

-Deep Trivedi

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 ""

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"

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"

Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own? Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?

-Deep Trivedi

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

-Vedas "Sama Veda"

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"

Have you ever noticed that our maximum loss of energy occurs when we try to restrain the flow of whatever that is coming from within?

-Deep Trivedi

The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with mind, you get bored and restless very easily. Boredom means the mind is hungry for more stimulus…it is not satisfied.
