Even without conquering the mind a person can lead a balanced life !
It is just that a person has to be aware of his mind, and consciously maintain such awareness !
Any attempt to 'conquer' is more likely to fail, because all conquests in the sense of the term as widely understood, involves brutal suppression of the subject of conquer ! And it is your own mind ! With what weapon can it be conquered ?
What we call as the mind is just the thought process... We feel a little bit of peace the moment the activity of the mind even slows down a bit. And the fuel to the mind is YOUR INVOLVEMENT in the thought process ! Notice, that the mind is relatively calm during sleep. Now, it is just about allowing the calm to happen to mind , consciously, when awake.
It does require some persistence, practice, and if possible guidance from an experienced teacher.

Its a very tricky question u have asked Anil. One has to really chance oneself to get peace within. Ur expectation should b least from anyone, urself just do good deeds keeping in mind that there is a supernatural power who is watching u always. Try not to intentionally hurt anyones feelings. Dont find faults in other rather introspect urself. Give love to all ur near and dear ones. Be happy with whatever u have and thank God day and night. Meditation can also give u peace of mind. Still if some problem troubles ,do ask a question on yahoo.Hope by doing a little of what i mentioned, one can conquer d mind.

Not really. One must conquer his emotions. Your mind is like a super computer. Your emotions influence your thought patterns and corrupt the perfect logic that your mind tries to achieve. By mentally blocking these emotions and by not allowing them to rule your life you can achieve a peace like you have never known. Calm yourself and take a deep breath put all thoughts and worries from your mind think of nothing but your own breathing. Now that you are at peace (Because of the lack of emotions clogging your thought patterns) you will be able to think and reason more clearly.

I don't know about balance, after a long time studying theories about balance, I still fail to see the point, but to conquer the mind I use Chaos magic and Meditation.

Yoga is the only scientific way of taming the monkey mind :
Mind is a restless monkey
When properly used gives the key
When you have a problem.
Controlled mind is the gem
That will give you the solution
So make up a resolution
To focus your mind
So that it will shine
And give you true happiness
And make your sorrows less
Through Yoga & Meditation
You can overcome temptation
Systematic Control of Breath
Overcomes even Fear of Death.

The mind is a battlefield as the devil can influence our thoughts. The bible says to " take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ." The way to do this is to constantly further your relationship with Christ, prayer and reading your bible. It's a constant process of renewal and cleansing that only God can do.

Only by continuous practice.
Just like learning driving and just like keeping in control a naughty boy you have to continue your efforts to move your mind in the right way.Before that, you should know what is really right. For that you have to meet the real teacher. you have to observe how he is putting in practice what he is preaching...
