The root cause of all the miseries of human life is the chaotic activities of his
'mind'. Hence, the only way to eliminate the "pains and miseries" from this world
is to properly educate him about the functioning of 'mind'.

Quotations
Mind
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.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
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"
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.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Sri Guru Granth Sahib"
The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
-Deep Trivedi
Only the person who knows how to strike a balance of mind can be happy and
successful in life. Sin - virtue, good - bad are the teachings which disturb the
equilibrium of our mind and unfortunately, these are the teachings which our
religious gurus and scriptures are giving us in abundance. As a result, only one
among millions is able to be happy and successful and that too, he who escapes
their clutches.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
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"
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.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
