Sage Vasishtha
O Rama, the only way to cross this formidable ocean of world-appearance is the successful mastery of the senses. No other effort is of any use. When one is equipped with the wisdom gained by study of the scriptures and the company of sages, and has his senses under his control, he realizes the utter non-existence of all objects of perception.
Rama, mind alone is all this: and when that is healed, the jugglery of world-appearance is also healed. This mind alone by its thinking conjures up what is known as the body: no body is seen where the mind does not function! Hence, the treatment of the psychological illness known as perception of objects is the best of all treatment in this world. The mind creates delusion, the mind produces ideas of birth and death; and as a direct result of its own thoughts, it is bound and it is liberated.
