How to control our mind? Man is a combination of body , mind and soul. Body and mind are correlated with each other. Mind is nothing but thoughts, thoughts are about either past or future . The mind is zero when we are in present. We have many thoughts during a day.

Why should we control our thoughts. Thought is the basic structure of an action.Every action is physical form of thought.As the thought so the action and as the action so the result.If we want good results in life first our thoughts should be good and lucid.

Food plays important role in controlling mind. Satva Tamas and Rajas are the qualities food. Rajas quality provokes arrogant nature,spicy,oily,fatty and non-veg food are Rajas.Tamo quality increases laziness , fear and irresponsibility, stale preserved for long time and non fresh food are Tamas. Satva quality develops positive thinking , peace loving, and responsibility. Fresh, juicy and vegetarian food which our nose loves naturally is our suitable food.

Mind is not our enemy, it is our friend. Observing breadth in meditation brings the mind internal rather going outside. Eye,nose,ear, tongue and skin are the five sources of outer information.when we drag these five senses from outside and by observing breadth slowly our mind used to be with us.Practice and dis compassion keeps our mind under control.-said Bhagavan Sri Krisha in Bhagavatgita.
