Yoga Vasishtha defines Yoga as,
“Manoprashamanopayah yogoityabhidhiyate”
The means of calming down the mind is known as Yoga
Mind, remains perhaps the most enigmatic phenomenon-unfathomable, perennially edgy, uniquely elusive, least researched and understood, most talked about and yet most relevant.
Yogic and Modern Perspectives of Dynamics of Mind
The cartesian theory says that volitional acts of the body are the cause of the volitional acts of the mind. This Mind-body dualism of Rene Descartes has been summarily rejected by Ryle (1949), who thought that there may not necessarily be any reasoning and complex intellectual operations involved behind a skillful act. Ryle further asserts that the working of the mind may be better conceptualized as the action of the body which might pertain to propensities and dispositions.
The Citta Concept of Yoga fits well with the Rylean concept of Mind (BG: II: 62, 63). Citta is considered as a storehouse of all Samskaras i.e. enduring deep-rooted impressions which are known to moderate our thoughts, actions and behavioral patterns that, in turn, have implications for our future well-being. Thus, both Rylean and Yogic views advocate moderating the dynamics of mind, towards human wellness & well-being.
Mind According to Kathopanishad
Kathopanishad conceives the human body as a chariot with its five horses likened to the five senses; the reign, tied to the horses, as mind, as well as, the operator of the chariot as buddhi (intellect) and the owner of the chariot as the Atman (soul). Thus, the mind is considered as the medium for operating all human activities.
