This world with heterogeneous objects appears through the fluctuation of the mind only… There are two paths to annihilate this fluctuation, namely, Yoga and Jnana. Yoga is the suppression of the modifications of the mind. It makes the mind turn on one object only. Jnana is self-analysis and thorough investigation of all things. Mind is nothing but the fluctuation of Prana. If the Prana is controlled, the mind is also controlled. —Swami Sivananda, <i> Stories from Yoga Vasishtha </i>
