Controlling the mind

by Harsarani Dd on 07 Sep 2011 in All News, writings

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Finland, 2011)

Contaminated thoughts come up in the mind. The mind is strong, but we must perform austerities of the mind! The austerity of the mind is…… one is when sinful thoughts come up, then we cut, and we do not allow what we would call, 'the train of thought'. One thought…next thought….next thought…..No! Cut…and if it goes in the wrong direction than stop immediately.

So in this way we do have a duty to control the mind, since we cannot just let the mind go in whatever direction it wants to go. We have to steer it back to Krishna. Soon as the mind is going in the wrong direction….back to Krishna!

I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.

yugayitam nimeshena

cakshusha pravrishayitam
sunyayitam jagat sarvam
govinda-virahena me

O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.

In this world there is nothing so sublime, I have nothing to do here but to work in Your consciousness. I have had enough by embracing the illusory energy. It's always kicking in one way or the other no matter how nicely I embrace the illusory energy. But it's a must to know that You love me too.

Yours

Renunciation of actions or actions in knowledge, which is the best?

Posted by dinesh

Impure heart and idle senses go ill together, so karma sannyasa (giving up the activities for fear of reactions and attachment) is very difficult for if the practitioner gets any desire to work with his senses, he is forbidden to do so. On the other hand working for the pleasure of The Lord in devotional service allows the practitioner to safely use the working senses and purify the heart gradually which is practical today. By working without attachment for fruitier results one's transcendental knowledge gets strengthened and he steadily goes towards direct, pure devotional service with full conviction. No one should give up work for fear of bodily discomfort or when there is no sufficient purification of heart. At least to maintain the body a person has to do some activity in this world.

How long we will have to tolerate the pushings of the mind and senses?

Posted by dinesh

Devotees often wonder how long we will have to tolerate the pushings of the mind and senses. Sometimes, they think maya will finally give up on them and leave them alone, and that one morning we will wake up a liberated soul. This verse informs us, however, that we must continue to tolerate sense attraction until death.

We can remain tolerant by fixing our consciousness on Krsna. The pleasure of Krsna consciousness combined with the conviction that nothing in this world can bring lasting happiness will help us tolerate the pushings of the body and mind.
