The Art Of Controlling the Mind.

   All glories to Srila Prabhupad,

                                                It is illustrated in the scripture "Bhagbat Gita" that the human body functions with 10 senses (5 of action + 5 of knowledge) under the direction of mind. So the mind & senses are co related. They function simultaneously. Therefore to control the mind, altogether depends upon, the utilization process of the senses. These senses are very strong, & even one sense can divert any persons's activities, despite his being quite aware of them in knowledge & trying his best to keep them under control. Given these facts about mind & senses it has been recommended in Bhagbat Gita, that the only way to keep them under control is to engage them in the devotional service of the supreme personality of God head,Lord Shrikrishna. God's one name ,therefore is Hrishikesh, meaning the master of senses. So it is just none other than Lord Srikrishna who can help us to get control on these senses. So long they are engaged in Krsna's service, they can never disturb the mind. This is the lone art of controlling the mind.
