Mind

Uddhared atmanatmanam natmanam avasadayet, atmaiva hy atmano bandhur atmaiva ripur atmanah

Elevate yourself through the power of your mind, and not degrade yourself. The mind can be the friend and also the enemy of the self.

Indriyani parany ahur indriyebhyah param manah, manasas tu para buddhir yo buddheh paratas tu sah

The senses are superior to the gross body, the mind is superior to the senses, the intellect is superior to the mind, and the soul is superior to the intellect.

Mayy eva mana ādhatsva mayi buddhiṁ niveśhaya, nivasiṣhyasi mayy eva ata ūrdhvaṁ na sanśhayaḥ

Fix your mind on Me alone and let your intellect dwell upon Me. Thereafter, you shall certainly live in Me. Of this, there is no doubt.

Bandhur atmatmanas tasya yenatmaivatmana jitah, anatmanas tu shatrutve vartetatmaiva shatru-vat

For those who have conquered the mind, it is their friend. For those who have failed to do so, the mind works like an enemy.

Manaḥ-prasādaḥ saumyatvaṁ maunam ātma-vinigrahaḥ, bhāva-saṁśhuddhir ity etat tapo mānasam uchyate

Serenity of thought, gentleness, silence, self-control, and purity of purpose—these are called austerity of the mind.
