“Shift the focus from external situations, to the mind's response to them. Do whatever leads to mind's expansion, strength and transparence.”
“For self-improvement, always try to bring in the transformation at the causal level. Shift the focus from actions to their cause – the thoughts; from the thoughts to their cause – the mind-set (bhaava) giving rise to them. Transform the mind-set or ‘bhaava’ by relentless contemplation on the infinitude and unaffectedness of the Soul.”
- Swami Nirviseshananda Tirtha
