You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
-Deep Trivedi
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
-J. K. Rowling
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
-Gautama Buddha
What is the difference between good news and bad news? In both the cases,
you are shaken from your slumber. You anyway react in both the cases. A true
human being is the one, who cannot be perturbed by any news.
-Deep Trivedi
Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.
