Set your mind right and all will be right. - Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.” ~Eckhart Tolle


“You are not your thoughts; you are aware of your thoughts. You are not your emotions; you feel emotions. You are not your body; you look at it in the mirror and experience this world through its eyes and ears. You are the conscious being who is aware that you are aware of all these inner and outer things.” ~ Michael A. Singer


“There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind - you are the one who hears it.” ~ Michael A. Singer

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. ~ Elbert Hubbard


When one is alert, one can transform poison into medicine. ~ Swami Sukhabodhananda


There is no greater force than awareness. When one increases awareness, even a poison can turn into a medicine and with no awareness a medicine can become a poison. ~ Swami Sukhabodhananda


Meditation makes you aware - that your inner attitude determines your happiness . -- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

“The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space.” ~ Eckhart Tolle


I don’t want to tell anyone how much water they should use or shouldn’t use. But whatever you do – make it as conscious as possible. If you become conscious, you will only use as much as you need to. This will make a world of difference. Right now, we are behaving as if we’re the last generation on the planet. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev



When you live consciously, your response to situation that arise will be agile and appropriate. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Equanimity is a perfect, unshakable balance of mind.- Nyanaponika Thera


“Maintaining equanimity of mind in all situations should be our focus. It verily is the goal,” - Mata Amritanandamayi


Equanimous mind gives rise to a heightened awareness. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar


Your mindfulness will only be as robust as the capacity of your mind to be calm and stable. Without calmness, the mirror of mindfulness will have an agitated and choppy surface and will not be able to reflect things with any accuracy. - Jon Kabat-Zinn
