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
Quotations
Mind
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
Delusion is a sort of demonic force. People’s original mind is pure but it becomes perverted due to delusion and other karmas.
-Scriptures "Kundakunda, Pancastikaya 38"
When you are inspired by some great purpose, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.
-Scriptures "Patanjali"
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
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.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 116-18"
Our biggest problem is the complete contrast in the nature of brain and mind.
Majority of the people do not even realize the separate existence of the two.
As a result, their entire life gets crumbled and destroyed in the constant friction
between their brain and 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
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
Your mind functions like a computer. It is only you, who has the authority to enter
or delete the data from it. But giving this right to others, you have corrupted the
computer of your mind.
-Deep Trivedi
