Mind is but a poor reflection of the radiant Heart.

Even the structure of the atom has been found by the mind.

Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.

The inquiry "who am I" turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.

The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.

The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.

The Sage has no thinking mind and therefore there are no ‘others’ for him.

In truth, you are spirit. The body has been projected by the mind, which itself originates from Spirit.

To ask the mind to kill itself is like making the thief the policeman. He will go with you and pretend to catch the thief, but nothing will be gained. So you must turn inward and see where the mind rises from, and then it will cease to exist.

If one watches whence the notion 'I' arises, the mind gets absorbed there; that is tapas. When a mantra is repeated, if one watches whence that mantra sound arises, the mind gets absorbed there; that is tapas.

Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.

Even the structure of the atom has been found by the mind. Therefore the mind is subtler than the atom. That which is behind the mind, namely the individual soul, is subtler than the mind.

The normal self is the mind. The mind is with limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond limitations, and is reached by investigation into the "I."

Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.

Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.

Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.

When you have no concerns in your mind you are able to win a lot of times, that's how I felt when we were able to win at Dortmund.

If you talk to your friends the way your parents talk, they will think you are stiff and odd.

The double bind lowers its boom on women in positions of authority, so those who haven't yet risen to such positions have not yet felt its full weight.

The trickiest thing about the double bind is that it operates imperceptibly, like shots from a gun with a silencer.

I think it is important to remember that there are so many different ways to be sisters.

I have two sisters; one is two years older, and one is eight years older. That helped me understand how completely different sister relationships can be.

Sisters, to me, are fascinating because it is a unique connection of the coming together of connection and competition. The fact that you have these age differences is a built-in power struggle, and the fact that you're all trying to get attention and resources from the same parents creates competition.
