What is Mind?

Lord Shri Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita 6.7 "For one who has conquered the mind, the Supersoul is already reached, for he has attained tranquility. To such a man happiness and distress, heat and cold, honor and dishonor are all the same."

Real advancement means to know God. That is advancement. If you are lacking that knowledge, what is God... And because you cannot understand... There are so many rascals, they are denying the existence of God. That is very nice. If there is no God, then they can go on with their sinful activities unrestricted: "There is no God. Very nice." But simply by your denying, God will not die. God is there. God is there, His administration is there. By His order, the sun is rising, the moon is rising, th

Prakriti does nothing except for the pleasure and with the sanction
of its lover and enjoyer, the Purusha. We do not recognise
this truth because under the actual stroke of the adverse disturbance,
smitten by grief, pain, discomfort, misfortune, failure,
defeat, blame, dishonour, the mind shrinks back from the blow,
while it leaps eagerly to the embrace of the opposite and pleasurable
disturbances, joy, pleasure, satisfactions of all kinds,
prosperity, success, victory, glory, praise; but this does not

Thought Of The Day

In this way, we are wandering throughout the whole universe. But if want to stop it, if we want to become again originally situated in our constitutional position, then we must understand Bhagavad-gita as it is. We must try to understand Krsna as He is. Then our life will be successful. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya [Bg. 4.9]. Go back to home, go back to Godhead. This is very simple philosophy. And everything is explained in the Bhagavad-gita. If we are fortunate enough, we sh
