“Your mind need not be controlled; your mind needs to be liberated.”

“… since you can't heal your own sick mind with your own sick mind, I needed to consult somebody else's sick mind.”

“To enter into your own mind you need to be armed to the teeth.”

“Don’t rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage. Go beyond it altogether.”

“You are not in control of your mind—because you, as a conscious agent, are only part of your mind, living at the mercy of other parts.”

“If you’ll dare to take your mind off your troubles, get your mind off your own needs and, instead, seek to be a blessing to other people, God will do more for you than you could even ask or think.”

“In short, if your body or mind
Or your soul or your purse come to grief,
You need only get drunk, and you'll find
Complete and immediate relief.”

“It's impossible to become an inventor or a genius without self-talk. You just need to control it according to your needs. Explore your imagination.”

“That which is known as "meditation" is the act of sustaining an object of meditation and specific subjective aspects by repeatedly focusing your mind upon a virtuous object of meditation. The purpose of this is as follows. From beginningless time you have been under the control of your mind; your mind has not been under your control. Furthermore, your mind tended to be obscured by the afflictions and so forth. Thus meditation aims to bring this mind, which gives rise to all faults and flaws, under control and then it aims to make it servicable. Servicability means that you can direct your mind as you wish toward a virtuous object of meditation.”

“You do not need to seek freedom in a different land, for it exists with your own body, heart, mind, and soul.”
