It is true that the mind is restless and difficult to control. But it can be conquered, through regular practice and detachment. Those who lack self-control will find it difficult to progress in meditation; but those who are self-controlled, striving earnestly through the right means, will attain the goal.
Bhagavad-Gita
The mind is restless and difficult to restrain, but it is subdued by practice.
Bhagavad-Gita
Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.
Bhagavad-Gita
The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar - this kind of happiness arises from the serenity of one's own mind.
Bhagavad-Gita
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha
The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There?s only one moment for you to live.
Buddha
My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently
Osho
In the space of no-mind, truth descends like light
Osho
No thought, no mind, no choice ? just being silent, rooted in yourself.
Osho
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory
Osho
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
Osho
When you really laugh for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.
Osho
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.
