2 Steps to Control Your Mind

In this video, Swamiji discusses the way to control our mind. The mind is a thought generating machine, and it keeps generating thoughts that are worldly and those that pleases our senses, since our minds are material. However, to elevate and uplift ourselves, we need to control our mind. The Bhagavad Gita gives two easier ways to accomplish this. 1. Develop Detachment from the World. 2. Attach the mind to God, who is the supreme Divinity. Since we cannot stop the mind from thinking as it's against the nature of our mind, however, with constant practice we can train the mind to develop detachment from the world and attach it to the Supreme Lord who is all pure and divine. When we repeatedly practice these two things, the mind and senses will be under our control and will generate thoughts that are sublime and uplifting.
