“Want to be Spiritual, but mind doesn’t allow . Bad habits draws to consumption of sensory objects. Don’t know what to do. ”

Is this 👆🏻 monologue yours ? Then this article is only for you. Look, we must admit that, it is very tough to control the mind. Even Srimad Bhagavadgita also admitted this. Now what to do? Lord Krishna said,

abhyāsena tu kaunteya vairāgyeṇa cha gṛihyate

The mind can be controlled by PRACTICE and DISPASSION. I know you have been hearing this advice for a long time. But still, shortfall is there. How to fix?

There are 🖐🏻5 simple, systematic ways to control the mind. These are said in Patanjali Yoga Sutra. They’re called

NIYAMA . It includes —

• Cleanliness

• Satisfaction

• Aspiration or Strong Desire for achieving goal

• Study of Scriptures

• Devotion to God

Firstly one must keep oneself and his/her surroundings clean. You must have noticed that, when, your surroundings is clean, your mind becomes peaceful and joyful. So this is the first pillar of calm and controlled mind.

Secondly, one should be satisfied with what material things he/she has and move on towards his/her target. Otherwise, too much attention to the small aspects of life drains out energy, which could be used to reach the goal.

Thirdly, we must have a great desire as well as aspiration for our goal in life. There are four things we can dedicate our lives to.

1/ Vidya ( intense study of any subject)

2/ Sampad ( earning money , acquiring wealth for country, society)

3/ Seva ( selfless service of humanity)

4/ Tyag ( complete Renunciation)

One must choose any of these and customise his/her mind set and daily routine accordingly. This is Tapah.

Fourthly, we should build up a habit of reading the scriptures daily. It may be Gita , Bhagwat , Upanishads, Quran, Bible or any other. Because,

Daily study of Scriptures unlocks the divinity within.

Just do and see the result.

Fifthly, it’s needed to have a devotional attitude towards God. It actually uplifts our minds to such a high state, that, bad habits, negetive thoughts simply goes away. It’s a self experimented fact.

All glories to Sri Krishna , All glories to Srimati Radharani
