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.
-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"
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 1-2"
Have you ever noticed that our maximum loss of energy occurs when we try to
restrain the flow of whatever that is coming from within?
-Deep Trivedi
The worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
-Scriptures "Anguttara Nikaya"
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"
The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
-Deep Trivedi
The depths of our mind are forever bright and shining like the sun. It is we who
have cast a shadow of the brain and eclipsed it.
-Deep Trivedi
Always safeguard yourself from rules and resolves. Machines can be switched
on and off at a fixed time regularly, whereas for mind, the dawn is when you
wake up. Understand this difference between man and machine and save your
life from becoming mechanical.
-Deep Trivedi
The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with mind, you get bored and restless very easily. Boredom means the mind is hungry for more stimulus…it is not satisfied.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
