Notes: In overcoming the compromising and degrading drives of the uncontained mind, we require a combination of self-control and appropriate means. Self-control is born of self-awareness and is discipline in recognizing and containing the urges of the mind and, further, in investigating the processes of their generation, endurance, and disempowerment. Methods of training and cultivation are best adapted to match and support the temperament and conditions of an individual, the aspiring yogi, who seeks to overcome the dominion of the mind with its particular configuration. An effective process of reconditioning the mind results in ample initial friction even without awkward and unnecessarily complicated methodologies.
