The Spirit of the Upanishads1570
Firm and studious application to the one Essence, and control of mind;—
this is a short statement of the import of “Liberation.”
Yogavasishtha.
Two oh Raghava! are the paths leading to suspension, of thinking: Yoga
which consists in controlling the thinking principle, and Spiritual Knowing
which consists in the proper eye for experience.
Yogavasishtha.
Yoga is the control of the thinking principle.
Patanjali.
Control of speech; full independence; absence of hope and desire; and
constant love of seclusion,—these open the first door to Yoga.
Vivekachudamani.
The mind is controlled by practice and non-attachment.
Patanjali.
Spiritual Knowing; control of mind; and destruction of latent desire; these
being the reciprocal causes, one of the other, they are the most difficult to
accomplish.
Yogavasishtha.
Mind being nearest mind, those who abandoning the true secret, apply
themselves only to the body, are described as lost in physical attachment.
Yogavasishtha.
