Excessive attachment to sense pleasures leads to bondage, and detachment from sense pleasures leads to liberation; therefore it is the mind alone that is responsible for bondage or liberation.

-Chanakya "Chanakya"
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"
If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be
able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural
phenomena and events unfolding around you.
-Deep Trivedi
A man, who realises the potential of his mind by means of introspection and contemplation, does not lack self-confidence. He has control over his mind and he is able to realise its full potential.
-Vedas "Sama Veda"
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
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
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"
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
The more you co-operate with mind, the more it will co-operate with you. You
cannot push your mind against its will. It is only due to the teachings of compelling
the mind to function in a certain manner that human being has become so pervert.
The one who co-operates with his mind, always attains huge success in life.
-Deep Trivedi
DNA and Genes influence your body, not your mind.
