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.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
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?
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
Mind is consciousness, which has limitations. We are originally unlimited and perfect. Later on we take on limitations and become the mind…There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth.
