If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.
The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
