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
Quotations
Mind
A person whose mind is unattached to sensual pleasures, who discovers the joy of the Self, and whose mind is in union with Brahmn through meditation, enjoys eternal bliss.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 5.21"
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?
-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankaracharya"
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.
-Patanjali "Patanjali"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Shri Shri Anandamurti"
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
-Winston S. Churchill "Winston Churchill"
The entire human life is driven by mind, and mind functions according to its
laws... In that case, what can be more important in human life than knowing and
understanding these laws of mind?
-Deep Trivedi
