How Difficult It is to Control Your Mind

You can control a mad elephant ,

You can shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger ,

You can ride a lion ,

You can play with the cobra ,

By alchemy you can eke out your livelihood ,

You can wander through the universe incognito ,

You can make vassals of the gods ,

You can be ever youthful ,

You can walk on water and live in fire ,

But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

From the Autobiography of a Yogi.

Without Brahmacharya One can not control the "Markata" known as MIND.
