Man can only conceive God within the limitation of his own mind.
A mind not set on God is given to wandering and lacks the quality of a temple of worship.
There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.
The turning of the charkha in a lifeless way will be like the turning of the beads of the rosary with a wandering mind turned away from God.
The message of the Gita is to be found in the second chapter of the Gita where Lord Krishna speaks of the balanced state of mind, of mental equipoise.
I am, and have been for years, a confirmed anti-vaccinationist...I have not the least doubt in my mind that vaccination is a filthy process that is harmful in the end.
The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of random desires and undisciplined impulses.
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.
Openness of mind strengthens the truth in us and removes the dross from it, if there is any.
A genuine fast cleanses the body, mind and soul. It crucifies the flesh and to that extent sets the soul free.
Fearlessness presupposes calmness and peace of mind.
A balanced intellect presupposes a harmonious growth of body, mind and soul.
Whatever can be useful to those starving millions is beautiful to my mind.
