Five main states of mind
According to the state of development of the seeker the process of control differs.
There are five main states of mind described by Bhoja in his commentary on the Yoga Sutras.
(1) The state of dispersion (kshipta-avastha).
(2) The state of confusion, or stupidity (mudha-avastha).
(3) The state of imperfect stability (vikshipta-avastha).
(4) The concentrated state (ekagra-avastha).
(5) The motionless state (nirodha-avastha).
The five states are characterized by a difference in proportion between the three basic tendencies or qualities (gunas) ascending, expanding and descending (sattva, rajas and tamas), generally represented as enlightenment, activity and obscuration-inertia, which are the intrinsic nature of all things.

Engagement Of Our Mind
The mind is not to be killed. Mind or desire cannot be stopped, but to develop a desire to function for spiritual realization, the quality of engagement by the mind has to be changed. The mind is the pivot of the active sense organs, and as such if the quality of thinking, feeling and willing is changed, naturally the quality of actions by the instrumental senses will also change.
