The idea of me and mine in the body, organs. Etc., which are the non-self this superimposition the wise man must put a stop to, by identifying himself the Atman. Realizing your inmost self, the witness of intellect and its modifications, and constantly revolving the positive thought ‘ I am that’, conquer the identification with the non-self.
All the disquiet, tension and problems of the mind have only one origin, the false identification of one’s real Self with the non-self, giving rise to the idea of ‘me and mine’ in the body, the organs, ect. The cute of all these disorders is in the effective practice of the positive thought ‘I am That’, I am the Atman.’ That reality-oriented mind alone can be controlled.
The practice of fourfold Vadantic disciplines, which is enjoined for the attainment of illumination, takes care of the problem of mind control as matter of course.
These vedantic disciplines for controlling the mind can be helpfully supplemented by certain yoga disciplines which we shall now discuss.
