The magic of the depths of the inner mind is such that illiterate Kabir and Kalidas
turn out to be "eternally great poets"... And uneducated Edison emerges as a
scientist with the highest number of inventions to his credit. Still do you think you
will be able to achieve success without understanding the science of the depths
of mind?
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Mind
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"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Buddhadasa Bhikkhu"
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.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
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 matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
-A Spiritual Leader "B. K. S Iyengar"
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
-Deep Trivedi
