The Mind can be trained
Once we know nature of an element or energy, we can use it. Techniques can be developed until eventually it becomes technology. We can use water power to generate electricity. Likewise we can use sun to create solar energy. If we know the nature of our mind and know how to handle it, we will use it in the right way and this will allow us to have a better life.
Different countries have different ways to train animals. When animals are wild, they look uncontrollable and can be dangerous. Once we know how to train them, they can become our friends. Thai people know how to train elephants; they help us work in the forest. In southern part of Thailand, people know how to train monkeys to collect coconuts from coconut trees.
If human beings know how to irrigate water, how to harness wind and fire and how to train animals, it should be possible for us to train our minds as well.
