Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colours, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

-Rainer Maria Rilke "Rainer Maria Rilke"

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

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 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'.

-Deep Trivedi

If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.

-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"

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.

-Deep Trivedi

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"

The secret to take life forward is only known to your 'mind', and mind and brain have no communication. Hence, the matters which your brain thinks will make you grow, know for sure that they will push you back in life and the ones that you feel will push you back in life, understand that these are the matters which will help you sail the summit of success.

-Deep Trivedi

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.

-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"

Appreciate fully what you are eating, enjoy it fully, breathing and smelling the aroma to add to the taste, chewing slowly and well, to taste more and to digest better. Discover the subtleties of taste. Gently keep bringing the wandering mind back to tasting fully what you’re eating. Feel the difference! Give thanks for the chance to be able to enjoy what you eat.
