A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"

Your focus is always on everything else, but you. The biggest proof is, even in dreams, rarely any of you would have seen your own face. Indeed, it is sad that not only in your conscious mind but even in your unconscious mind, your focus is only on others.

-Deep Trivedi

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.

-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"

Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.

-Deep Trivedi ""

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.

-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 116-18"

DNA and Genes influence your body, not your mind.

-Deep Trivedi

Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.

-Deep Trivedi

Flood your mind with love. Look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you have quarrelled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded, and the joy of tears will wash away all quarrels.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Chinmayananda"

No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.

-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"

Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed in surgically removing those miseries from your body.
