Science
says we only use 10% of our minds. Think about what I just said. We are
only using 10% out of 100%, so we are wasting other 90%. Now think other way what if we use 10% of our food and
waste 90%. What if we slept only 10% of 8 hours which is 80 minutes a day,
Could we survive like that? The answer to all these is NO.
Since ancient times, many philosophers have realized the importance of the Human mind in governing the human affairs. They knew that a person’s external circumstances were the result of his internal thoughts. They were aware that if the person thinks of riches, he would have riches, while if the thoughts are of poverty, success and failure would produce the corresponding effects in the person’s circumstances. Today, modern science has acknowledged the truth of these findings. So, it becomes crucial for a person to control his mind.
Yoga has specific
techniques which deal with the science of mind control. We will study the
nature of the mind as is recognized by yoga in this chapter. The Mind is a vast
collection of thoughts and traces of past experiences. When you are born, your
mind is the collection of individual impressions, ideas, or actions collected
over the previous births. Those impressions, whose fruits have already been
enjoyed have been wiped out. But as you grow up, new impressions are being
added continuously due to various acts performed by you from birth to death.
This translates into the law of karma which states that the events one faces in
his life are the results of the activities done by him in the past and his mind
at birth contains the Similar impressions from his previous births.
