''THE NATURE OF THE MIND: ''

The will to control the mind is not enough.We have to know something about the nature of the mind.It can be briefly discussed in the light of hindu psychology which has adequate system of disciplines for controlling the mind.

Mind is a finner body within the gross body.The physical body is ,as it were, only crust of the mind.Being the finner part of the body, the one affects the other for that reason physical and mental illness or tension often affects the mind.

Behind the mind is the Atman which is very pure spirit, the real self of man. Body and mind are material.Mind is not an Atman but distinct from Atman.
