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"

All that your mind absorbs from the external world will prove to be a deterrent, meaning it will push you back in life. Whatever your mind brings forth from within, will only make you grow in life.

-Deep Trivedi

The secret to take life forward is only known to your 'mind', and mind and brain have no communication. Hence, the matters which your brain thinks will make you grow, know for sure that they will push you back in life and the ones that you feel will push you back in life, understand that these are the matters which will help you sail the summit of success.

-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"

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

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"

Every portion of body, mind, and spirit yearns for integration of yin and yang… Where ordinary intercourse unites sex organs with sex organs, angelic cultivation unites spirit with spirit, mind with mind, and every cell of one body with every cell of the other body.

-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"

Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed in surgically removing those miseries from your body.

-Deep Trivedi

The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life, we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of our own.

-Deep Trivedi

Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.

-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"

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'?
