Mind Control is the establishment of that specific state in which the individual is completely liberated from all unintended and previously uncontrolled thought-forms. He is a master over his being, over his mind and he enjoys the bliss, wisdom and power of being absolutely free: Free from the mind, hence free from desire, mental limitations and free from suffering.
It's a process called Self Realization or Enlightenment: Freeing yourself from the conditioned mind establishes the most profound experience of joy and inner freedom. Liberation of this kind is what we are all, consciously or not, longing for. It is this longing that drives us to do the things we do. Somewhere deep inside we all long for freedom, satisfaction and pure ecstasy. The only illusion/difficulty here is that most of us seek for it in all but the right place..
The conditioned mind is mis-taking the pleasurable, transitory shapes and forms of the external world for the highest joy coming only from within. This is the Illusion (in Sanskrit terminology: Maya) of the mind and it clouds our vision to see what is true and what not.
Because of the mind's tendency to cloud our vision; we constantly search in the wrong directions for something which is actually found in only one 'direction'.
What we are looking for is not a direction in the common, three-dimensional sense of the word; the 'direction' we are trying to find is that one, mystical, space- and timeless yet practical shift of Consciousness evolving inwards.
This is where Yoga and Meditation Techniques and practices become an incredible aid.
Yoga is not merely retaining physical postures (called: Asanas):
Many people nowadays belief and promote yoga as a form of physical exercise alone. Yoga has surprisingly little to do with improving bodily flexibility. Training the body is just one of the lower stages of Yoga which can be very helpful but is not at all the actual goal as meant and defined by the word "Yoga", meaning: Union.
Yoga practice reaches all the way from retaining physical postures to attaining that state of absolute Mind Control and Enlightenment. This site's educational purpose is, primarily, that of the higher stages of Yoga science, as it is taught by the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali.
These higher stages are, more directly than the lower stages, about gaining control over your mind and transforming into a true master of your being; of your Self. Mind Control is that state of mastery out of which the experience of Yoga or union arises and establishes as your primary experience of life.
We are looking everywhere for the keys to the ultimate freedom and enlightenment except there where the only key is to be found: Inside the one doing all the searching... and it awaits there to be found for everyone.
