-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 1-2"

Appreciate fully what you are eating, enjoy it fully, breathing and smelling the aroma to add to the taste, chewing slowly and well, to taste more and to digest better. Discover the subtleties of taste. Gently keep bringing the wandering mind back to tasting fully what you’re eating. Feel the difference! Give thanks for the chance to be able to enjoy what you eat.

-Anonymous "Kalari Kovilakom"

The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.

-Vedas "Atharva Veda"

No vibration emanating from our "mind" can ever be suppressed nor can any vibration be created in mind... they can only be transformed.

There is a deep connection between mind and body. If the acid level rises in the body, it often leaves you worried. At the same time, it is also true that if your nature is negative, even if you eat "fruits", you will feel acidic.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

The root cause of all the miseries of human life is the chaotic activities of his 'mind'. Hence, the only way to eliminate the "pains and miseries" from this world is to properly educate him about the functioning of 'mind'.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?

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.
