To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.

Always safeguard yourself from rules and resolves. Machines can be switched on and off at a fixed time regularly, whereas for mind, the dawn is when you wake up. Understand this difference between man and machine and save your life from becoming mechanical.

-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.

Delusion is a sort of demonic force. People’s original mind is pure but it becomes perverted due to delusion and other karmas.

Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.

The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind initiates the process that leads to death.

-Deep Trivedi

'Mind' not only understands all the mysteries of existence but can also reveal their influence, in the life of any individual of this world with the precision of a clock... But then it is difficult to understand that instead of delving into our mind, what sort of trivial tasks have we entangled ourselves in?

-Deep Trivedi

Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.

-Deep Trivedi

Whoever has achieved great success in life, they have knowingly or unknowingly, firmly opted for one of the four ways of mind; joy, nature, independence or being natural and whatever the path once chosen, irrespective of the circumstances... they have incessantly followed it.

-Deep Trivedi

Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own? Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
