These old habits have taken their roots to the depths of our mind. Because of which whenever we do some work, the mind easily goes away from it. we don't even realise that now our mind is busy in another work, and it's too late when we realize that. We have created such confusion for the mind that it is impossible for the mind to come out of it. Because of which even if we wanted, we have been unable to give our minds a proper direction by crossing these entanglements.

2. Two kind of actions must be done to bring the mind into right direction.
First is - right practice which should be regular
Second is - reclusion
"Only practice cannot make the mind to come in right path. Our old habits have
winded The surface of our mind due to which our mind keeps on getting
distracted rapidly from the right direction".
These old habits have taken their roots to the depths of our mind. Because of which whenever we
do some work, the mind easily goes away from it. we don't even realise that now our mind is
busy in another work, and it's too late when we realize that. We have created such confusion for
the mind that it is impossible for the mind to come out of it. Because of which even if we
wanted, we have been unable to give our minds a proper direction by crossing these
entanglements.
We must first understand that mind is an invisible organ in our body. and this organ is the most
powerful in whole body. With the help of which we can turn a lot of impossibilities into
possibilities that are difficult to understand as a visual.
And maybe you see that near you time to time. There are many instances by which you can see
that the most powerful part of our body is the invisible mind. With the help of which the cripple
person is also able to do all those adventures which seem impossible to look.
So all the teachings of yoga exercises are to give right direction to the mind. If any visible organ
of the body is disabled, it is likely that life can be lived without suffering. But if that organ of the
body which is not visible(the mind) , whole life languishes in an ocean of sorrows.

4. The height of a tree depends on the depth of its roots on the earth. If the roots of the tree
are too deep, it will not only give the tree a height, but will continue to nourish it for a long
time. Similarly, if we are to attain the height of our lives. We have to come to the depths of our
minds where we can give life an incredible amount of energy.
But for that we have to prepare the mind. Just as a sculptor constantly attacks the idol with his
chisel and hammer to give it a beautiful form, so shall we also have to chisel on the mind and
strike the hammer.
Unless we change the old habits of mind, the mind will not be ready on right track.
To manipulate the mind there are two main practices yoga talks about as I mentioned above
(abhyasa and vairagya)
It is not that in today's time people are not making efforts to control or train the mind . There are
a lot of training you can do this through.
But here I want to bring your attention in very important topics:
In today’s time we value practise more. We tend to think that, if we will put a practice in our
routine we can bring our mind direction towards the right path. But actually it is not.
Right direction cannot be provided to the mind only through practice. because if we do it
regularly. It simply means that we are creating a new habit for the mind.
“But habits of practice will only bring attachments attachments
bring sorrow. and it is so frightening”
Now the question comes what to do? is there anything else that we should add on?
Then I would say yes- Along with practice to mind need reclusion/detachment too.
To give one direction to the mind it necessary to produce a sense of renunciation in the mind
towards all other directions.
“A sense of hatred for all the smaller goals must be inculcated in order to get something big”
Yoga has also been interpreted . The philosophy of Yoga also delves deep into this. Yoga
doesn’t say only to practise and make a self tired.

5. Instead it believes that if we only put more emphasise on practice then we cultivate an
Anuraag(attachment) towards it. And if that happens we will not be able to reach our main goal
through any practice we do.
It believes that sacrifice should also be a constant feeling for the practice you do. Else the
practice will start dominate you.
One should also have a feeling of aversion.
This will help you expand satwic (positive) Energy into the practice and mind will also not be
corrected. Practice should not be done only for achieving the goal but for transmitting energy
into Many other dimensions. Practice is necessary to achieve a goal but it is also necessary to
avoid impediment to attain that goal. In order to remove obstacles one must first develop a sense
of detachment and suffering from all those hurdles which stop us. whenever our mind is
deflected by all obstacles it will automatically come in right direction and then practice can
speed up the mind towards the goal.
When a feeling of aversion to an action arises, the attachment for that action is gone due to
which the action is filled with satwik energy.

8. Constant practice makes the mind to move in the same direction. But that does not mean that the
mind will not wander from its goal. As long as the mindsubject continues to attract the the mind.
Mind will continue to wander from its direction. But when we develop the feeling of
detachment, the mind is not attracted towards any other subject after that.
The presence of vairagya ( detachment) eliminates all desires, and the mind does not inspire the
senses to satisfy those desires. Due to which the mind remains present in the same direction as
the one, in which it may be imposed by practice.
It leads to the conclusion that practice is necessary to give direction to mind and vairagya does
not let mind deviate from the right directions.
In bhagavadgita both of these are informed by swords Lord shri Krishna says, mind requires two
swords to prepare.
one is a sword of practice and a sword of vairagya. Even the absence of one of these causes
the mind to stray from the right direction again.
Speed of mind is so intense that it is impossible to stop. so we need both hands to control the
mind
1- practice
2- detachment.
The practice of yoga must also have a sense of renunciation towards him while doing any
exercise.
