“Left to itself, the mind goes on repeating the same old habitual patterns of personality. By training the mind, however, anyone can learn to step in and change old ways of thinking; that is the central principle of yoga:”
― Veda Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

“Lust, anger, and greed are the three doors to hell”
― Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

“When a person responds to the joys and sorrows of others as if they were his own, he has attained the highest state of spiritual union.”
― Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

“When meditation becomes very deep, breathing becomes slow, steady, and even, and the windows of the senses close to all outward sensations. Next the faculties of the mind quiet down, resting from their usually frantic activity; even the primal emotions of desire, fear, and anger subside. When all these sensory and emotional tides have ceased to flow, then the spirit is free, mukta – at least for the time being. It has entered the state called samadhi. Samadhi”
― Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita
