Mind Control
One may be able to obstruct hurricanes but to control the mind is difficult but not impossible. It is possible with regular practice and renunciation.
Communication
Like a fan regulator regulates the amount of air being released, our mind regulates our communication with the Lord Who is then revealed in different degrees.
Chant Remember
Hear, chant, remember; crying like a baby. If your mind is going elsewhere then you have another exercise to do. Drag it back, bring it back. Take the help of the intelligence.
The Numerous Thoughts
We accumulate many thoughts, even during sleep. Out of all those numerous thoughts, only thoughts related to Krishna should be allowed to settle in. Make them our property and others, neti-neti, you get out of here, get out of here.
Contentment
A person can only be content when his soul is satisfied. In Krishna consciousness you can be satisfied. The soul is satisfied, then the mind is satisfied, the body can also be satisfied and kept happy with just a few needs.
The Mind’s Dictations
The mind is the principal cause of bondage and the same mind also could become the cause of our moksha, liberation. So this mind factor is a very meagere factor in our lives. In fact, we are governed by the mind’s dictations, knowingly or unknowingly we will follow them all the time.
Unfixed Mind
There is nothing fixed about the mind. Hence, you can change the mind. Train the mind. Shape up the mind.
Mind As Your Friend Or Your enemy
Mind could be your enemy or your friend. So during chanting we want our mind to be our friend for always. That is the goal. During chanting we have to strive harder to make our mind our friend, so it doesn’t go against us and drag us here and there.
Mind should be conquered first.
One could become conqueror of the 3 worlds, first private victory then other victories. Private personal victory is becoming victorious by conquering the mind that is first victory. Then mind is not conquered all victories are futile or all victories are defeat only if the mind is not conquered.
