“The mind is part of nature, Prakirti. Prakirti, which includes both material and mind, is composed of and governed by the three primary qualities called the gunas. The three gunas are sattva, rajas, and tamas. Sattva is subtle, sublime, clear, neutral, and pure. Tamas is heavy, contaminated, confused, concealed, and slow. Rajas is fiery, active, initiating, and has the power of transformation.

“We need to be able to affect the mind without getting caught in an infinite self-reference. To do that, we need to understand the structure of the mind, recognize the origin of thought, and consciously determine which thoughts are consistent with our true self.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“The mind itself does not stop. That is why “a point of stillness” is one of the essential tools you need to look into the mind. This is where special techniques, like meditation, mantra and breath control are needed. Using the mind to try and convince the mind to be still is like stopping a hurricane by blowing at it. There is too much going on.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“Water exists in degrees of subtly from vapor to liquid to ice. Just so, you can think of the mind as the vapor, the feelings as water, and the neurons and connections as ice.

“Success, happiness, and constant prosperity are the result of mastering the mind. The mind exists as a servant to your soul.
