“Tam Yogamiti Sthiramindriyaa Dharanam”(Kattopanishad)
Yoga is a state in which all our indriyas are beheld steadily that is a state of mastery over senses and mind.

In Yoga Vasishta the essence of yoga is beautifully portrayed:
“Manaha Prashamana Upaya Yoga Ithyabhidheeyate”

Yoga is called a skillful trick to calm down the mind. It is an “Upayah”, a skillful subtle process not a brutal, mechanical gross effort to stop thoughts in the mind. An experienced and skillful person knows exactly on what to lay hands to rectify the malfunctioning. Similarly, in the control of mind, a novice tries hard and gets disgusted when he finds himself more messed up, while yoga tries to give him the necessary techniques to operate at the right place at the right time to gain complete mastery over mind.
