It is the Path of the Good Mind which Thou hast manifested to me, O Ahura! Whereby the welldoers, in accordance with the teaching of the Spiritual Guides, acting in harmony with Truth alone, Shall pass onward to the assigned reward of which Thou art the bestower, O Mazda! This precious reward of Thine, O Mazda, Thou givest by way of the Good Mind, Thou givest to those who perform actions through knowledge and pure thought; who attempt for the progress and development of the world; fulfil God’s desire and try for the progress of God’s Will through truth and righteousness.

-Scriptures "Yasna 34, Verse 13-14"

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

Good is that which elevates the mind and evil is that which degrades the mind. Social virtue and vice are temporal entities; they have nothing to do with your relationship with the Supreme.

-A Spiritual Leader "Shri Shri Anandamurti"

There is a deep connection between mind and body. If the acid level rises in the body, it often leaves you worried. At the same time, it is also true that if your nature is negative, even if you eat "fruits", you will feel acidic.

-Deep Trivedi

Brain understands the things by dissecting them because all it knows is the tangible objects. But mind does not recognize the tangible objects differently; it only understands the vibrations and their intensities and depths. It is only due to our inability to establish a mutual communication between the two, that we all are total failures.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

Mind is consciousness, which has limitations. We are originally unlimited and perfect. Later on we take on limitations and become the mind…There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth.

-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"

A man, who realises the potential of his mind by means of introspection and contemplation, does not lack self-confidence. He has control over his mind and he is able to realise its full potential.

-Vedas "Sama Veda"

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.
