Our mind is always busy receiving information through sense organs and can never dissociate from this never ending stimuli of senses. Practicing stagewise self control we can reverse this unending process. A righteous person in the first stage tries to control his senses while operating in the world and deny being acted upon by anything outside, whatsoever. Next stage is gradual withdrawal of sense organs from the objects. Self control in simple words is preventing all parts of body and mind from taking to harmful and evil ways. Only a fair and impartial person can practice it, one who is not swayed by enmity, neutrality and even friendship. In fact self control is being fair and impartial to your ownself as an object. It is said that good conduct and forbearance should be practiced towards even wicked and sinful. Only people with ample self control can practice it. We should also control the anger in provocative circumstances and remain at peace with others as well as ourselves, since all the anger arises from falsehood and ego.
Real self control is to avoid performing harmful deeds to others for any personal gain or malice. It paves the path of prevention of desires, which are real hurdles in the path of wellness.

I DO NOT THING LIKE THAT.EVEN SIMPLE SLEEPING PROCESS CAN NOT BE CALLED AS A "BLANK STATUS OF MIND "
@ DR. Manish Kumar Mishra, "one who is not swayed by enmity, neutrality and even friendship." after this stage what do you think can divert a mind, once achieved, this stage will take you to vacuum where every materialistic and worldly thought is either absent or fully insignificant, and here starts, what you call "BLANK STATUS OF MIND "
Well lets see what the author has to say on this.
If someone is not swayed by favors and practices self control to remain fair, such person is least concerned with material profit and only fairness, justice, love and passion guide him.
Thus it is mind filled with justice and love, it is not blank and void.
