If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.

If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that

The day you will be able to take your body where your "mind" is, I promise, all

It is the Path of the Good Mind which Thou hast manifested to me, O Ahura! Whereby the welldoers, in accordance with the teaching of the Spiritual Guides, acting in harmony with Truth alone, Shall pass onward to the assigned reward of which Thou art the bestower, O Mazda! This precious reward of Thine, O Mazda, Thou givest by way of the Good Mind, Thou givest to those who perform actions through knowledge and pure thought; who attempt for the progress and development of the world; fulfil God’s desire and try for the progress of God’s Will through truth and righteousness.
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.
The extent to which you depend on the capabilities of your own mind or on the
external knowledge and situation to resolve any issue, shows how deep a mind
you dwell in.
-Deep Trivedi
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
When you are inspired by some great purpose, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.
