Quotes on Body & Mind

“It is mind that has thoughts and feelings, not I. Birth, growth, decay and death pertain to the body and not to Me. I am not body—I have no body. I am no mind—I have no mind.” — Atmananda Krishna Menon

“The stand of an ignorant, worldly man is that he is a body, gross or subtle … When he perceives the body, he becomes its possessor and when doesn’t perceive it, he remains as body. Whatever happens to the body is claimed by him to be happening to himself on account of the close identification.” — Atmananda Krishna Menon

“The thought that one is the body, gross or subtle, is the cause of all bondage. If the thought is that one is Consciousness, and that thought is deep and strong, one becomes freed from all bondage at once.” — Atmananda Krishna Menon

“Are not body, prana, and all mind-modifications, percepts? Consciousness, the Self, is the perceiver. Those who, forgetting this, identify Self with body, mind, etc., live in bondage. Those who, by wise discrimination, rise above this wrong identification become liberated and rest in peace in their true nature.” — Atmananda Krishna Menon

“The attribution of reality to things which rise in thoughts is the cause of all bondage … There was no bondage before, there is none now and there will not be any hereafter, since thought has no existence.” — Atmananda Krishna Menon

“There is no thought. There is only Consciousness … The content of thought is Consciousness. If this truth is always kept alive, thought will soon vanish and Consciousness will reign. Then comes liberation from all bondage.” — Atmananda Krishna Menon

“Consciousness going out towards objects is mind. That which turns towards the Self is pure Satva.”
