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.

-Scriptures "Yasna 34, Verse 13-14"

Brain understands the things by dissecting them because all it knows is the tangible objects.

It is only due to our inability to establish a mutual communication between the two, that we all are total failures.

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"

-Deep Trivedi

Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.

-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"

Whoever has achieved great success in life, they have knowingly or unknowingly, firmly opted for one of the four ways of mind; joy, nature, independence or being natural and whatever the path once chosen, irrespective of the circumstances... they have incessantly followed it.
