Mental models, as learnt about while exploring trading can be developed and are basically memory lanes of different kinds built by practice and self leadership. Same is mentioned in RMK's teachings, which say, that "All life forms are god, and, man is king of kings, son of god", "they cannot be bound"
"He who thinks that he is a jiva, remains as a jiva. He who considers himself to be god, verily becomes a god". As one thinks, so does one become
"As long as one is devoted and focused towards god (i.e. self), he cannot be lost in the ocean of worldliness."
"Don't find fault with anyone, not even with an insect. As you pray to god for devotion, so also pray that you may not find fault with anyone"
"Phule phole bhora daal shobshomoy noto thake" (i.e. the tree laden with fruits always bends low, if you wish to be great, be lowly and meek)
"Soft clay takes an impression, but not hard stone. so also divine wisdom impresses itself on the heart of a devotee (a man with open mind, accepting of new ideas and concepts), but not on a bound soul"
"Do everything that is necessary in the proper time, and let your mind be always fixed on God"
"Look at the anvil of a blacksmith; how it is hammered and beaten, yet it moves not from its place. Let men learn patience & endurance from it."
Obstacles:
"A man who spends time on discussing others good/bad qualities is wasting time" since it is not time devoted to self or supreme, but other selves."
"Do not let worldly thoughts and anxieties disturb your mind."
"The more is a man's attachment to the world, the less is he likely to attain knowledge. The less his attachment to the world, the more is the probability of his gaining knowledge"
Pride leads to destruction
"Soiled mirror cant reflect sunlight. Pure hearts can see god"
"Money can fetch you bread alone, do not consider it as your sole end and aim"
"Money must be a servant; those aint men who dont make proper use of it"
Vivekananda on Ideals:
"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 have every other idea alone. This is the way to success"
"Every man should take up his own ideal and endeavour to accomplish it. That is a surer way of progress than taking up other men's ideals which he can never hope to accomplish."
"Men should be taught to be practical and physically strong. A dozen of lions will conquer the world, not a million of sheep can do. Must not imitate a personal ideal, however great"
"Good motives, sincerity, infinite love can conquer the world. One single soul possessed of these virtues can destroy the dark designs of millions of hypocrites and brutes."
"The first manifest effect of life is expansion. You must expand if you want to live, the moment you have ceased to expand, death is upon you, danger is ahead"
"It is a TREMENDOUS ERROR to feel helpless. Do not seek help from anyone. We are our own help. If we cannot help ourselves, there is none to help us"
"The moment you fear, you are NOBODY"
"It is fear that is the great cause of misery, in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is FEARLESSNESS that brings heaven even in a moment. Therefore, Arise, Awake, and stop not till the goal is reached!"
"India must conquer the world, and nothing less than that is my ideal. We must conquer the world or die. There is no other alternative. The sign of life is expansion. We must go out, expand, show life, or degrade, fester, and die. India will be raised, not with the power of the flesh, but with the power of the spirit."
