The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand
everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life,
we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of
our own.
-Deep Trivedi
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Excessive attachment to sense pleasures leads to bondage, and detachment from sense pleasures leads to liberation; therefore it is the mind alone that is responsible for bondage or liberation.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
The magic of the depths of the inner mind is such that illiterate Kabir and Kalidas
turn out to be "eternally great poets"... And uneducated Edison emerges as a
scientist with the highest number of inventions to his credit. Still do you think you
will be able to achieve success without understanding the science of the depths
of mind?
-Deep Trivedi
On the screen of your mind, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Then that reaction yields thousands of sub-reactions by itself. Therefore, think
thousand times before going against your mind.
-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.
The science of mind is completely contrary to the knowledge of the brain. At
the level of mind, as we regret doing the wrong deed, we repeatedly commit the
same act. Hence, at the level of mind, it is advisable to understand, not repent.
-Deep Trivedi
