Who is stronger - the Life Force (Prana) or the Mind :
Mind and the Life Force (Prana) are very close (nearer) to each other; and in the practice of breath control the control over the breath gives strength to the Life Force (Prana).
HATHA YOGA PRADIPIKA in Chapter-II in its verse-2 states that the relation between the Life force and mind are not only close but are inter related too. "When the mind stirs, the breath also starts pulsating. In the same way when the Life Force (Prana) is disturbed, the mind also gets stirred. It means that Life Force is superior to the mind.
