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.
-Vedas "Rig Veda"
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 energy of the mind is the essence of life.
All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?
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.
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
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.
Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.
Mind is like an ocean - stormy at the surface, calmest in the depths.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.
