Each time we indulge in lower pleasures, the mind tightens its grip on us; each time we resist temptation, we weaken its control.

Inner growth is all about transforming of our thoughts.

The truth is that money can only buy you fun or comfort; it cannot buy you happiness.

Like physical activity, mastery over the thoughts and mind also requires practice. It causes the synaptic learning to take place, which makes the practised thoughts easier to come to the mind.

You do not need to go around the world finding happiness; rather, it is experienced as a consequence of who you are.

The greatest pilgrimage isn’t outward, but inward, where we discover the mind, intellect, ego, and soul.

Our experience of happiness and distress is not dependent on circumstances, but on the way we look at them.

If we have sufficient desire and are willing to put in the necessary mental practice, we can lift our mind to unimaginable heights.
