Mind is like an ocean - stormy at the surface, calmest in the depths.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Veda Bharati"

Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.

-Deep Trivedi

If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural phenomena and events unfolding around you.

-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.

-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"

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"

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"

All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

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"

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"

Flood your mind with love. Look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you have quarrelled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded, and the joy of tears will wash away all quarrels.

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Chinmayananda"
