- This Mind-Body-Intellect mechanism of human life is a gift of God. Why is it hard to control the mind if that's the case? Because of the lack of knowledge on how to uplift our higher nature to subjugate the lower self.
People often complain that it's hard to control the mind. However, it's not entirely true. Lord Krishna says only Humans have the superior power through which they can easily control the mind in a moment if they wish. What is that? How to use it and ensure that we keep the mind under control all the time? Watch video to learn as Swami Mukundananda explains it in detail in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, verse 43.

एवं बुद्धे: परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना |
जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम् || 43 ||
evam buddheh param buddhva sanstabhyatmanam atmana
jahi shatrum maha-baho kama-rupam durasadam
BG 3.43: Thus knowing the soul to be superior to the material intellect, O mighty armed Arjun, subdue the lower self (senses, mind, and intellect) by the higher self (strength of the soul), and kill this formidable enemy called lust.
-----------------------------------------------
Concluding Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 with this verse, Shree Krishna emphasizes that we should slay this enemy called lust through knowledge of the self. Since the soul is a part of God, it is divine in nature. Thus, the divine bliss it seeks can only be attained from a divine subject, while the objects of the world are all material. These material objects can never fulfill the innate longing of the soul and so it is futile to create desires for them. We must exert and train the intellect to think in this manner, and then use it to control the mind and the senses.
This is explained very beautifully in the Kaṭhopaniṣhad with the help of the model of a chariot:The Upaniṣhads say there is a chariot, which has five horses pulling it; the horses have reins in their mouths, which are in the hands of a charioteer; a passenger is sitting at the back of the chariot. Ideally, the passenger should instruct the charioteer, who should then control the reins and guide the horses in the proper direction. However, in this case, the passenger has gone to sleep, and so the horses are holding sway.In this analogy, the chariot is the body, the horses are the five senses, the reins in the mouth of the horses is the mind, the charioteer is the intellect, and the passenger seated behind is the soul residing in the body. The senses (horses) desire pleasurable things. The mind (reins) is not exercising restraint on the senses (horses). The intellect (charioteer) submits to the pull of the reins (mind). In the materially bound state, the bewildered soul does not direct the intellect in the proper direction. Thus, the senses decide the direction where the chariot will go. The soul experiences the pleasures of the senses vicariously, but these do not satisfy it. Seated on this chariot, the soul (passenger) is moving around in this material world since eternity. However, if the soul wakes up to its higher nature and decides to take a proactive role, it can exercise the intellect in the proper direction, and guide itself to eternal welfare.

swamiji I am a Muslim but following this journey of bhagavad gita from beginning and what a wonderful explanation of urs with utmost clarity tq for delivering this valuable knowledge and tq for starting this journey aapku koti koti dhanyavad
Once you have faith, you will get will power (soul power) and your intellect will have the conviction and the power of discrimination.
santan dharma opens our consciousness around us.
You will ralize, if you are sincere, that hindu scriputres provide scientific methods of mind management and attaining a saatthvic stage. It is not about someone commanding us to do as he says or leave....that is the beauty of Hinduism. No compulsion... it is your path.

I am Muslim... Now i convert to sanatan secretly... Hare krishna.... I am from Bangladesh... I chanting hare krishna in dream.. I don’t know why?
Why secretly?
@@user-hf2qh5ck7j He is living in a community and family of Muslims most likely, who would not understand and then reject his spiritual direction outside of that. He could have experienced in his dreams the remembrance of a past life as a Hindu. And maybe he now wants to head in a spiritual direction but is able to identify more with the teachings of Hinduism. A lot of families put pressure on their members to stay within that practice of faith, whether Muslim or any other. It could be very upsetting to many for him to be converting, and he doesn’t want to upset them and wants to keep the peace.
