Appreciate fully what you are eating, enjoy it fully, breathing and smelling the aroma to add to the taste, chewing slowly and well, to taste more and to digest better. Discover the subtleties of taste. Gently keep bringing the wandering mind back to tasting fully what you’re eating. Feel the difference! Give thanks for the chance to be able to enjoy what you eat.
Be mindful of your duty to God, and do good works; and again, be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. God loves the doers of good.
It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Just as extra energy is required to push the space shuttle out of earth's gravitation,
likewise, we also need energy above a certain limit to free the mind from the
influence of brain.
-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.
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.
If the mind becomes balanced and detached, and comes to dwell in its own true home, imbued with the love of God, then it enjoys the essence of supreme spiritual wisdom; it shall never feel hunger again.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
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
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?
