Mind is like an ocean - stormy at the surface, calmest in the depths.
Delusion is a sort of demonic force. People’s original mind is pure but it becomes perverted due to delusion and other karmas.
To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.
Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.
All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?
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.
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
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?
