Manduka Upanishads: - Those who want Brahman will not practice control of the mind. That is Yoga for duffers.

Yogis say they control the Mind. They think the mind is an organ within the body. Thus, yoga is limited to form, time, and space, whereas the truth is beyond form, time, and space.

It is high time for them to realize the mind is not within the body, but their body and the world are within the mind (Maya).

Without knowing what is this mind, it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness.

Consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion. When the conviction about the consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.:~Santthosh Kumaar
