Since ancient times, the human philosophers have realized the importance of 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 thought riches, he would be riches, while the thoughts of poverty, success and failure would produce the corresponding effects in the person's circumstances. It becomes crucial for a person to control his mind. We will study the nature of mind as is recognized by yoga in this chapter. Shankar has defined mind in four different ways as per its functions: for the job of resolving and doubting; Buddhist for the decision and judgment; admits for the consciousness of its individual existence and chits for remembering the previous experiences.

In a flash, you are buried underneath and can’t get out.
All day and All Night
Sunlight doesn’t stop the negativity. Like a broken alarm clock, you can’t shut them off.
Your first line of defense is the “distraction method.” A tactic used by parents of young children. Frustrated and unable to stop a crying child because his favorite was left in the restaurant, the parents introduce a bright and shiny new object to take the child’s attention away from his sadness.
Are you still using the “distraction method” to soothe yourself?
When I want to stop the negativity in my mind, the first thing I do is reach for something sweet. But a piece of chocolate, seems to take my mind away from those intruding, undesirable thoughts.
Sadly, some binge behaviors become harmful. It’s easy to start over-using alcohol, drugs, food, video games, gambling, work, shopping, and yes, even the internet.
Have you ever tried to stop your negative thoughts eating a bag of potato chips or a pint of Talents cream until you feel so full, that all you can think of is how gross you feel? Which only results in feeling bad about yourself because you have no control over your impulses. And his mind at birth contains from his previous births.
