The Difficulty of Mind-Control

Swami Sivananda

The struggle with the mind is most distasteful and bitter in the fire stage of the Sadhana. Mind cannot be controlled by mere human effort. The grace of the Lord and Guru is necessary. Control of the mind is the first step to spirituality. Victory over the mind means victory over the World. Self-conquest or conquest of the mind is the greatest Victory. Yoga aims at arriving at the silence of the mind which makes possible the right meditation.


Let not a single minute slip away unutilized or in forgetfulness of your real nature and your central purpose of life, or in a state of negativity or inactivity.
