Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 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. Therefore, & #346;ukadeva Gosv & #257;m & #299; recommends the next step of assured policy, namely to fix one's mind in the service of the Personality of Godhead. Lord & #346;r & #299; Kr & #803;s & #803;n & #803;a, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, also recommends this direct process in the Bhagavad-g & #299;t & #257; (6.47). Thus, the mind being spiritually cleansed, one should at once engage himself in the transcendental loving service of the Lord by the different devotional activities of hearing, chanting, etc. If performed under proper guidance, that is the surest path of progress, even for the disturbed mind.
