The above said practical dimension of dhi is evident in the concept of mano nigraha (restraining of mind). Mano nigraha is a state of self-control of mind guided by a perfect balance of desire, determination, and dedication. It forms the nodal principle behind satvavavjaya chikitsa (psychotherapy), which focusses over nigrahan (diversion) of mind from harmful subjects of senses (ahitartha) towards beneficial (hitartha). Dhriti is mentioned as ‘manaso niyamatmika’ i.e. regulatory body of mind. Hence, it is that property of mind which governs its actions viz. chintya (regulation of thought processes), vicharya (analysis of thoughts and ideas), uhya (logical reasoning), dhyeya (polishing objectives by focussing over them) and sankalpa (arriving at an apparently right conclusion/decision). Thereby being a check-dam to reckless indulgence in any morally or conventional undesirable behavioural or psychological attributes.<ref name="ref6">Bagali SS, Baragi UC, Deshmukh RA.

=== Contemporary approach: ===
The metapsychologists revolve western psychology around two central schools of thoughts in regards to functioning of mind also known as mind-body problem.<ref name="ref7"></ref>
<ul style='text-align:justify;'><li style="font-weight: bold;">Monism <br/><span style="font-weight: normal;">This school of psychological philosophy advocates that mind and body are unarguably intangible entitities. We can not define their independent presence as they are indistinguishable from each other. Furthermore depending upon the acceptance of either of these two entities, following groups exists – </span></li>
<ol type="a"><li style="font-weight: bold;">Physicalists : <span style="font-weight: normal;">This school of thought empowers the existence of only the entities postulated by physical theory (a theory in which predictions are based upon empirical observations by combining direct physical perception and mathematical calculations). They state that all mental processes have a physiological or neurophysiological basis. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">Idealists : <span style="font-weight: normal;">They believe that mind is all that exists and every other thing in this world is a mere illusion of mind itself. </span></li></ol>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">Dualism <br/><span style="font-weight: normal;">Dualists accept the independent existence of both mind and body. Their theories suggest that mind is distinct from brain in a way that mind is genetically defined and naturally adaptive module (non-physical property) of brain which helps brain in information processing and computation. This approach is synonymous to Sankhya darshan’s ideology of prakriti (matter) and purusha (soul in association with mind). </span></li></ul>
