The worst thing that can happen to mankind is insanity which will be result due the non-controlling power of mind. Non-control of mind hinders the assimilation of personality. Apart from having a strong sense of will, certain basic disciplines of yoga also help an individual in controlling his mind effectively. The yoga scriptures insist that in order to control the mind an individual must practice the basic disciplines of yoga namely 'yama' and 'niyama'. Very confusing and uncommon terms, right! Well let make things easier to understand. The characteristics in an individual like truthfulness, non-stealing, non-killing and non-receiving of gifts are called Yamas; whereas the purification of both our external and the internal self, happiness, indignity, study and worship of the Gods and Almighty are the Niyamas. Obviously, one who is not yet the master of his mind will fail to observe some of these percepts. Yet the idea and concept of insisting on these practice of these particular virtues and disciplines helps in keeping the ideal before the practitioner, so that the inner strength may grow through self-effort. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the publishers for their continued interest in bringing out this book.
