Ishan Shivanand shares a teaching from Baba Gorakhnath comparing the mind to wild animals like lions and tigers. Training your inner nature requires the same caution a beast trainer uses, and only Siddha meditation, the Yoga of Immortals, safely masters the mind's wild tendencies.
The Shivayogi immortal Baba Gorakhnath says that just like a trainer who is training an elephant or a lion or a tiger has to cautiously, slowly, carefully train them, because if he doesn't do it right, the same lion and the tiger can eat him. Baba Gorakhnath says that if somebody wants to pursue spirituality, then his mind, his emotions, his inner self is like that same tiger, lion, and elephant. The yog, the The process of union, it has to be followed in the right process. We cannot just follow any medium, any meditation practice. It has to be the perfect one, the meditation of the Siddhas, the yoga of immortals.
