Equanimity of mind is yoga. ~ Krishna ( Bhagavad Gita) To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao Tzu Equanimity is the hallmark of spirituality. It is neither chasing nor avoiding but just being in the middle. ~ Amit Ray Equanimity is the quality of mental equipoise in which the mind is neither attracted to a pleasant object nor averse to an unpleasant object. ~ Christopher Germer Having likes and dislikes, it is impossible to maintain equanimity. ~ Swami Ramsukhdasji Watch how anything attractive or repulsive can take you away from yourself. ~ Vernon Howard To cultivate equanimity we practice catching ourselves when we feel attraction or aversion, before it hardens into grasping or negativity. ~ Pema Chodron Let the wave of memory, the storm of desire, the fire of emotion pass through without affecting your equanimity. ~ Sai Baba Virtuous people always let go. They don’t prattle about pleasures and desires.Touched by happiness and then by suffering, the sage shows no sign of being elated or depressed. ~ Buddha (Dhammapada) |
Even a little disturbance of the mind will affect its judgement and efficiency. ~ Swami Chinmayananda Knowledge comes to your mind only if the mind is calm and serene, then knowledge flows easily through the mind to the job in hand. ~ Swami Chinmayananda The average man cannot think clearly, but is ruled by explosions of his emotions. ~ Yogananda Although we have the knowledge at our fingertips, it fails us when needed, if the mind is disturbed. ~ Swami Chinmayananda It is actually a calm mind that can act correctly in the midst of danger. An emotional mind usually errs and exacerbates the situation. ~ Jaggi Vasudev |
Seekers after truth must never be overpowered by anything. Fully conscious and wide-awake, with the attitude of a spectator, they must watch anything that happens. - Anandamayi Ma They alone are true heroes whose mind remain unmoved even when assailed by causes of powerful emotion. ~ Sanskrit proverb If the mind wavers, difficulty will embrace you.~Ambalal Muljibhai Patel ( Dada Bhagwan ) Only when we learn how to master our emotions will we find inner balance. ~ Stefania Pallotta With the discovery of inner balance we can face any situation in life. ~ Dada Gavand |
He who has no attraction ( or aversion) for objects will have a calm mind. - Manu
Equanimity means there is no reaction at all within you, whether one abuses you or one respects you - a total absence of reaction within. - Osho It is considered equanimity when attachment does not arise towards someone who offers flowers and abhorrence does not arise towards someone who is pelting stones. - ~Ambalal Muljibhai Patel ( Dada Bhagwan ) If 'we' stay in our state of Pure Soul (awareness), attachment-abhorrence will not occur. ~Ambalal Muljibhai Patel ( Dada Bhagwan ) |
He who has strength of mind will not be agitated. If you are agitated you cannot know the truth. ~ Yogar Swamigal While living in a normal agitated state of fears, worries and doubts, seeing the deeper truths is impossible. ~ Satguru Sivayasubramaniyaswami If I am agitated, I am wrong. ~ Vernon Howard You can realise the truth only by making your mind steady. The mind is so restless as a monkey. The mind becomes steady as a result of knowledge of the Self. ~ Swawmi Muktananda |
No matter what is happening around you, pay attention to making and keeping your inner stability strong. - Dadi Janki( Administrative head of Prajapita Brahmakumaris) The problem is as big as the amount of pain we create. If we are stable, the problem appears to be very small and easy to face. - B.K.Shivani Sister ( Prajapita Brahmakumaris) When we face problems with a cool mind, problems become opportunities. - B.K.Shivani Sister ( Prajapita Brahmakumaris) |
The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist. ~ Eckhart Tolle Darkness is the absence of light. Ego is the absence of awareness. ~ Osho There is only one reality, but there are many ways a reality can be interpreted. ~ B.K.S.Iyengar Every ego is a master of selective perception and distorted interpretation. ~ Eckhart Tolle Awareness means grasping life just the way it is, without contamination by mental projections. ~ Jaggi Vasudev |
Ego is the movement of the mind toward objects of perception in the form of grasping, and away from objects in the form of aversion. This fundamentally is all the ego is. This movement of grasping and aversion gives rise to a sense of a separate 'me,' and in turn the sense of 'me' strengthens itself this way. Adyashanti “As long as the ego runs your life, most of your thoughts, emotions, and actions arise from desire and fear. ~ Eckhart Tolle |

Without the ego there are no desire and attachment. So ego, attachment and desires are together. ~ Baba Hari Dass The ego expresses itself by creating attachment and desires. When attachment and desires are removed, then there will be no selfish identification. Ego expresses its existence by desire and attachment and the ego always seeks for its self-interest. ~ Baba Hari Dass |
Who we are varies according to our awareness. When you are more aware, you are someone else than when you are less aware. ~ Dr.Frederick Lenz https://www.ramaquotes.com/html/awareness.html |
