Holding the breath controls the mind,

A bird caught in a net .

breath-regulation helps

Absorption in the heart .

 

Prof.K.Swaminathan

 

 

By the contol of breath,mind is lulled like a bird in a net.This is the means of

control.

 

Ganapati Muni

 

 

As by the fowler birds are caught in nets

So by the holding of the breath within

The mind can be restrained .This is a device

That will effect absorption of the mind .

 

Chadwick

 

 

When spreading thought defies

the conroller's grasp,

and its speed of images

renders stillness impossible,

then gently still and even the breath .

For with inward,tranquil breathing,

Thought sinks into Peace.

By this net , the elusive bird is caught.

 

Anantanarayanan

 

 

Through the act of regulating the breath the mind is subdued, just as a bird is

restrained when

caught in a net .This helps in checking the involvement of the thinking mind at

that moment .
