With all fears dissolved in the peace of the Self and all desire dedicated to Brahmn, controlling the mind and fixing it on Me (God), sit in meditation with Me as your only goal.

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.12-15"

The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"

The extent to which you depend on the capabilities of your own mind or on the external knowledge and situation to resolve any issue, shows how deep a mind you dwell in.

-Deep Trivedi

All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc²; all of them have stemmed from within.

Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.

-Vedas "Atharva Veda"

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"

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.
