Deep Quotes

There will be no posts for the next two weeks because I will be India.
I am going for some serious meditation, and I am sure I'll write something about my experience when I return.
So, seeing as there won't be any quotes for the next two weeks, I decided to post a few quotes that you could really spend time thinking about.

Quotes:
"One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, and in honor and dishonor; and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self.”
-from the Bhagavad Gita

fearing that they will be engulfed by the void.
What they don’t realize is that
their own mind is the void."

Until next time
