Premanand Maharaj Ji
How can I control my mind with vows and restraint?
Discipline the mind with vows
The mind cannot simply be killed, so take up vows of restraint like fasting, silence or giving up salt and sweets. When you fast, the mind starts falling in line on its own.
We will live on fruit for a month. Silence for a month. All this is self-restraint, by which we can rule over our mind.
