          Sri   Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja YogaSri Swami   Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga, Mind is a mysterious something   which is really nothing but does everything. It is born of Maya. It is a product   of ignorance. It is a compound of Vasana and Sankalpa. It is a mixture of worry   and fear. It is a solution of Ahamkara.

Buddhi is pure reason. The seat of Buddhi is just   below the crown of the head in the pineal gland of the brain. Buddhi is   manifested only in those persons who have developed right intuitive   discrimination or Viveka.

Sri   Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga, 2.Tame the Six Wild   BeastsSri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga, 2.Tame   the Six Wild Beasts, You have a whole menagerie within, with the lion, the   tiger, the serpent, the elephant, the ape, and the peacock. Bring them to   subjection. The beauty of the flesh is really due to the life-giving principle   Prana. The beauty is attributable to the light that emanates from Atman. The   nasty body with oozing discharges from nine gutters is composed of five   elements, is Jada-Vastu and Apavitra. Always entertain this idea.

Sri   Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga, 4.Mind and Its   MysteriesSri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga,   4.Mind and Its Mysteries, Just as a busy officer works alone in a room by   closing all the doors, so also the busy mind works alone in a dream by shutting   out all the doors of the senses. Mind is a power born of the soul. It is through   mind that the Lord manifests Himself as the differentiated universe with   heterogeneous objects at energyenhancement.org

Sri   Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga, 6.SiddhisSri   Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 4: Raja Yoga, 6.Siddhis, A powerful   occultist hypnotises the whole audience collectively through his power of   concentration and will, and performs the rope-trick. He throws a red rope in the   air, gives the suggestion to the onlookers that he will climb in the air through   this rope and disappears from the platform, in the twinkling of an eye. But,   when a photograph is taken, nothing is recorded at energyenhancement.org
