How can control your mind?

Answer 1

One way to control the mind is silence. The moment we shut off our five senses, and still our movements, the mind will still wander but it will slow down. As we slow down the pace of the mind, it will reduce producing thoughts like a popcorn machine. Slowly and steadily, the practice of silence can get us to control our mind. However, we all have been given an instrument known as the intellect. The intellect controls thoughts. The mind is nothing but thoughts. When we activate our intellect to discriminate between thoughts, to choose what is right from wrong, then we will slowly and steadily get a control of our mind.
