Mind control

Mind control is more heroic and beneficial than any other system of control.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

While we practise asanas, we try to control the body with the mind. That's on a different plane needed for mundane life. We need to control the mind through discrimination and then the mind " dies". The body cannot be a tool and need not be a tool for the mind to be controlled or sublimated. Let's keep the body healthy for this purpose - not get obsessed by instructions on asana practice- then we are lost in those words. Simplicity is needed-not complicated words.
