In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.

-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"

Flood your mind with love. Look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you have quarrelled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded, and the joy of tears will wash away all quarrels.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Chinmayananda"

Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?

-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankaracharya"

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

The science of mind is completely contrary to the knowledge of the brain. At the level of mind, as we regret doing the wrong deed, we repeatedly commit the same act. Hence, at the level of mind, it is advisable to understand, not repent.

-Deep Trivedi

Your focus is always on everything else, but you. The biggest proof is, even in dreams, rarely any of you would have seen your own face. Indeed, it is sad that not only in your conscious mind but even in your unconscious mind, your focus is only on others.

-Deep Trivedi

To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"

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"
