Heard a recent lecture from swami Ramakrishnananda, he compares physical body with mind and I liked the comparison
You order the leg to take you to the bed room, it takes you there, you sit and it goes to rest.
How nice it would have been if the mind was like that? The mind should come up from sleep only when its needed and go back to sleep once the job is done, it should not continue to stay when it is not needed, unnecessarily thinking of past future and go through ramifications
Again watching the body and its movements, associated flow of energies is hatha yoga, watching the mind its thoughts and emotions is bhakti yoga, watching the mind during our actions is karma yoga.
Aum namah Sivaya
