Mind, prana and intelligence are three important aspect of sadhana. They all are connected to each other. Thoughts, natural tendencies, emotions and feelings that arise in mind are also linked to prana. So purifying prana is essential. Mind is definitely affected when prana is purified. Desires rule over intelligence and this rule also extends to mind and other senses. Mind takes keen interest in the happenings of senses and so does intelligence. Our intelligence clings to its own opinion, understanding and other entanglements. The soul that wants to do sadhana needs to be free from all these. How is this possible?
All this is not possible without achieving equanimity or at least making a living and genuine attempt to practice it. Establishing peace in mind is not possible without equanimity. There also needs to be establishment of silence (નીરવતા) in mind so it can reject the touch and interests of the senses. For all these reasons it is very important for sadhak to establish peace and equanimity in his mind.
The real key to achieve all this is in our determination and will power.
