Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…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.

The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.

The day you will be able to take your body where your "mind" is, I promise, all
your miseries will disappear at that very moment.
-Deep Trivedi
To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.
The depths of our mind has an "auto tuning" with nature. Once a person has
started living from these depths...no harm can ever be caused to him.
-Deep Trivedi
The decision that we have to make is, what is more important, visiting temples,
mosques, churches or eradicating negativities from the mind?
-Deep Trivedi
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.
On the screen of your mind, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Then that reaction yields thousands of sub-reactions by itself. Therefore, think
thousand times before going against your mind.
-Deep Trivedi
“Make your offering,” said the Master. “As you make it be pleased in mind. Make your mind completely calm and contented. Focus and fill the offering-mind with the giving. From this secure position you can be free from ill will.”
The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.
