But the possibility of taming it anyhow depends upon generating in the mind a love (or liking) for \u0101tma by accustoming it to reflect on its (\u0101tma\u2019s excellences), and an aversion (or dislike) for objects other than \u0101tma, by presenting before its imagination the inherent imperfections of those objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By him who has not subjugated the mind, yoga[5. <em>Yoga<\/em> means here the queiscent state into which by practice &amp;c., the mind is disciplined.
