Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
Good is that which elevates the mind and evil is that which degrades the mind. Social virtue and vice are temporal entities; they have nothing to do with your relationship with the Supreme.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
