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.

Quotations
Mind
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
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"
The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
-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"
The magic of the depths of the inner mind is such that illiterate Kabir and Kalidas
turn out to be "eternally great poets"... And uneducated Edison emerges as a
scientist with the highest number of inventions to his credit. Still do you think you
will be able to achieve success without understanding the science of the depths
of mind?
-Deep Trivedi
Always safeguard yourself from rules and resolves. Machines can be switched
on and off at a fixed time regularly, whereas for mind, the dawn is when you
wake up. Understand this difference between man and machine and save your
life from becoming mechanical.
-Deep Trivedi
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
-A Spiritual Leader "B. K. S Iyengar"
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
“Make your offering,” said the Master. “As you make it be pleased in mind. Make your mind completely calm and contented. Focus and fill the offering-mind with the giving. From this secure position you can be free from ill will.”
-Sutta Nipata "Sutta Nipata 506"
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"
