Who controls the mind is a king
You are the king of your senses, not their slave. Control the ten senses, especially passion and taste. Use them for need, not greed. The technique is through mauna, a scientific understanding targeting mind and intellect. Know the limit of intellect and the supremacy of practice over theory. Realization requires diving deep within to observe and excavate hidden emotions like anger and jealousy. Analyze yourself constantly. Ultimately, nothing in this world is yours; all relations are temporary. Visualize your ātmā as immortal oneness, not as individual duality, to find happiness. The mind is an elephant; know your aṅkuśa, your tool of control. Harmonize with it through kindness and mantra. If it disobeys, invoke higher guidance.
"O my inner divine Self, you are the king, you are the king of your senses and your mind."
"Nothing in this world is yours."
