The Mind

The "mind" is the instrument that supports your personality with thoughts, and those thoughts are the instruments that will forever prevent "peace of mind"; in fact, there is no such thing as "peace of mind." There is only peace if freed of the "mind."

The Mind

Is it the mind that wants to kill itself? The mind cannot kill itself. So your business is to find the real nature of the mind. Then you will know. that there is no mind. When the Self is sought, the mind is nowhere. Abiding in the Self, one need not worry about the mind.

Ramana Maharishi

Pranayama

Breath-control is only an aid for mind-control(manonigraha); it will not bring about annihilation of the mind(manonasa). Like breath-control, meditation on some form
of God, repetition of mantras, diet-regulation, etc., are butaids for rendering the mind quiescent for the time-being.

Ramana Maharishi

The Mind

The mind keeps wandering like a mischievous monkey. The challenge lies in fine-tuning one's faculties to control the mind.
