The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
If the mind becomes balanced and detached, and comes to dwell in its own true home, imbued with the love of God, then it enjoys the essence of supreme spiritual wisdom; it shall never feel hunger again.
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
