With the intellect set in patience, with the mind fastened on the Self, let him attain quietude by degrees: let him not think of anything. Lord Krishna

Beware of the anger of the mind, and control thy mind! Leave the sins of the mind, and practise virtue with thy mind! Buddha

Watching his speech, well restrained in mind, let a man never commit any wrong with his body! Let a man but keep these three roads of action clear, and he will achieve the way which is taught by the wise. Buddha

It is the claws of thine own foolish thoughts that in spite wound the face of thy quiet soul. Rumi

“These sons belong to me, and this wealth belongs to me,” with such thoughts a fool is tormented. He himself does not belong to himself; how much less sons and wealth? Buddha

Noble indeed are they all, but the wise man I regard as My very Self; for with the mind steadfast, he is established in Me alone, as the supreme goal. Lord Krishna

Devotees in the path of work perform action, only with body, mind, senses, and intellect, forsaking attachment, for the purification of the heart. Lord Krishna

Endued with this evenness of mind, one frees oneself in this life, alike from vice and virtue. Devote thyself, therefore, to this Yoga. Yoga is the very dexterity of work. Lord Krishna
