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"

“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.”

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

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"

If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.

-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"

The decision that we have to make is, what is more important, visiting temples, mosques, churches or eradicating negativities from the mind?

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"

The root cause of all the miseries of human life is the chaotic activities of his 'mind'. Hence, the only way to eliminate the "pains and miseries" from this world is to properly educate him about the functioning of 'mind'.

-Deep Trivedi

When you are inspired by some great purpose, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.

-Scriptures "Patanjali"

Brain understands the things by dissecting them because all it knows is the tangible objects. But mind does not recognize the tangible objects differently; it only understands the vibrations and their intensities and depths. It is only due to our inability to establish a mutual communication between the two, that we all are total failures.

-Deep Trivedi
