Sage Vashishta said to Sri Ram, his disciple, “If I were told that someone had lifted the Himalayas, I may, for a moment, assume that there is such a person in the world. If someone were to say that he has swallowed the sea, incredible though it may seem, I may for an instant believe him too. If someone were to assert that he has tamed the winds of the world, though not to be taken seriously, I may agree with him for a split second. However, if someone were to boast that he has controlled his mind, I would never believe him. My son, the mighty foe of the mind, is not easily controlled!”
