Yoga: best weapon for mind control

Yoga: best weapon for mind control

Depression is deep restlessness. Your painful memories of the past will merge with your present and collapse your future. Take only what is useful and necessary from your past and live carefully in the present. You need to understand what is important and what is more important. One must calm the mind instead of putting the needle in the wound. You can understand any matter when your mind is calm. The best weapon for mind control is Yoga. Meditation is one aspect of yoga. It also acts as a filter. When you relax your body and calm your mind, your anxiety and depression is filtered and you will be released from it. There are no hard rules for meditation. For example, it is immaterial how your house looks but what is essential is the inside environment. Inside should be healthy and clean. That is important. Then what is meditation? It is deep concentration. Meditate about this World, about the Great Forces that move this World. Then you will have peace of mind. Meditation improves your ability to make decisions and strengthen your presence of mind. And the physical aspect of yoga improves blood circulation and bodily comfort. You can focus on your path when your body is healthy and your mind is purified. Unwanted thoughts cause depression. A stable mind kills suicide!

–Sri Jayanthi Kumaraswami
