September 1 Sunday
The mind is highly powerful. Once the powers of the mind are understood, the nature of the whole world can be comprehended. –Sathya Sai Baba

September 2 Monday
Only when the mind is subdued, can man become sublime. –Sathya Sai Baba

September 3 Tuesday
• The highest men are calm, silent and unknown. They are the men who really know the power of thoughts; they are sure that, even if they go into a cave and close the door and simply think five true thoughts and then pass away, these five thoughts of theirs will live through eternity. Indeed such thoughts will penetrate through the mountains, cross the oceans, and travel through the world. Swami Vivekananda

September 4 Wednesday
Mind is like a lake, and every thought is like a wave upon that lake. Just as in the lake waves rise, and then fall down and disappear, so these thought-waves are continually rising in the mind-stuff, and then disappearing, but they do not disappear for ever. They become finer and finer, but they are all there, ready to start up at another time, when called upon to do so. Swami Vivekananda

There is no need to broaden it. Only a broad mind is needed to recognise the vastness of the spiritual heart. Narrow-mindedness should go. Narrow ideas of “me” and “mine” should be totally given up in all forms. –Sathya Sai Baba

September 6 Friday
We are heirs to all the good thoughts of the universe, if we open ourselves to them. Swami Vivekananda

September7 Saturday
The mind proclaims its astonishing uniqueness to the world by its capacity to express feelings, recognise forms, appreciate the beauty of colour, enjoy different smells, as well as its power of thought. As the world is permeated by these qualities of the mind, these five qualities are all pervasive. –Sathya Sai Baba

September 8 Sunday
Broaden your mind and your vision
People often recommend that one should enlarge his heart. But enlargement of the heart will compel you to go to a cardiologist! What you have to do is to broaden your mind, your vision. The heart, meaning not the physical heart but the spiritual heart, is inherently broad. It is one with cosmic consciousness. –Sathya Sai Baba

September 9 Monday
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; think of it; dream of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Swami Vivekananda

September 10 Tuesday
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care of what you think.
Swami Vivekananda

September 11 Wednesday
Every vicious though will rebound, every thought of hatred which you have thought, in a cave even, is stored up, and will one day come back to you with tremendous power in the form of some misery here. If you project hatred and jealousy, they will rebound on you with compound interest. No power can avert them; when once you have put them in motion you will have to bear them. Remembering this will prevent you from doing wicked things. Swami Vivekananda

September 12 Thursday
Every thought is a little hammer blow on the lump of iron which our bodies are, manufacturing out of it what we want to be. Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 13 Friday
All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind. Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 14 Saturday
It is thought which is the propelling force in us. Fill the mind with the highest thoughts, hear them day after day, think them month after month. Swami Vivekananda
xxx
September 15 Sunday
The mind has no independent identity of its own. It is a conglomeration of the desires that sprout from the impulses. A cloth is essentially a bundle of threads. Threads, in their turn are basically cotton. Similarly, desires arise from basic impulses and the mind is constituted of these desires. Just as a piece of cloth disintegrates if threads in it are pulled apart, the mind too can be destroyed by the eradication of desires. –Sathya Sai Baba

September 16 Monday
All minds are the same, different parts of one Mind. He who knows one lump of clay has known all the clay in the universe. He who knows and controls his own mind knows the secret of every mind and has power over every mind Swami Vivekananda

September 17 Tuesday
The heart can be compared to the sky, the mind, to the moon, and the intellect, to the sun. The thoughts that are generated in the mind are like the clouds that pass away. The cause for one’s happiness and misery or pleasure and pain lies in his thoughts. However, these twin ideas of happiness and misery or pleasure and pain obtain relevance only in the world of dualities. Just as the camera gives photographic impressions of the objects upon which it is focused, the mind absorbs the impressions of the objects it is directed at. The more it is directed towards the world of sensory pleasures, the farther it takes man away from God–Sathya Sai Baba

September 18 Wednesday
All these senses, external and internal, must be under the disciple’s control. By hard practice he has to arrive at the stage where he can assert his mind against the senses, against the commands of nature. He should be able to say to his mind, “You are mine; I order you, do not see or hear anything”, and the mind will not see or hear anything — no form or sound will react on the mind. Swami Vivekananda

September 19 Thursday
All things in nature work according to law. Nothing is excepted. The mind as well as everything in external nature is governed and controlled by law. Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 20 Friday
All that we see, we project out of our own minds. Swami Vivekananda

September 21 Saturday
PEACE THROUGH SENSE AND MIND CONTROL
You can experience Bliss only when you have learnt to control the Mind. To control the Mind, you have to engage in good deeds. As you go on performing good deeds, you will develop good thoughts and feelings; and when you have good thoughts, you will acquire true understanding of the Real. –Sathya Sai Baba
xxx
September 22 Sunday
Always keep your mind joyful; if melancholy thoughts come, kick them out.
Both matter and mind exist in a third, a unity which divides itself into the two. Swami Vivekananda
xxx
September 23 Monday
Every ounce of pleasure brings its pound of pain. It is the same energy that at one time manifests itself as pleasure, at another time as pain. As soon as one set of sensations stops, another begins. But in some cases, in more advanced persons, one may have two, yea, even a hundred different thoughts entering into active operation at the same time. Swami Vivekananda
xxx
September 24 Tuesday
All knowledge that we have, either of the external or internal world, is obtained through only one method — by the concentration of the mind. No knowledge can be had of any science unless we can concentrate our minds upon the subject. The astronomer concentrates his mind through the telescope… and so on. Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 25 Wednesday
If you want to study your own mind, it will be the same process. You will have to concentrate your mind and turn it back upon itself. The difference in this world between mind and mind is simply the fact of concentration. One, more concentrated than the other, gets more knowledge.–Swami Vivekananda

September 26 Thursday
Excessive hilarity is quite as objectionable as too much of sad seriousness, and all religious realisation is possible only when the mind is in a steady, peaceful condition of harmonious equilibrium. Swami Vivekananda
xxx
September 27 Friday
Excessive mirth should be avoided. Excessive mirth makes us unfit for serious thought. It also fritters away the energies of the mind in vain. Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 28 Saturday
Get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and every stone that drops into it raises waves. These waves do not let us see what we are.–Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 29 Sunday
Give up all desire for enjoyment in earth or heaven. Control the organs of the senses and control the mind. Bear every misery without even knowing that you are miserable. Think of nothing but spiritual freedom.–Swami Vivekananda
xxxx
September 30 Monday
“If I know one lump of clay, I know the whole mass of clay.” The universe is all built on the same plan. The individual is only a part, like the lump of clay. If we know the human soul—which is one atom—its beginning and general history, we know the whole of nature. Birth, growth, development, decay, death—this is the sequence in all nature and is the same in the plant and the man. The difference is only in time. The whole cycle may be completed in one case in a day, in the other in three score years and ten; the methods are the same. The only way– Swami Vivekananda
