How to conquer the mind?

Nama Article 13th May 2007

Excerpts from the disourse of Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

A person desires to steal. But because of his fear for the rigid law of the country he abstains from stealing.

However, as long as he entertains this thought to steal he will not become virtuous. So the law of the country has not reformed him. It has only stopped him temporarily.

Given a chance he will try to trick the law and steal.

So, as long as the change does not come about in one's mental attitude it cannot be deemed as a transformation.

A mind which is considered to be unconquerable, by the soothing influence of the Name becomes docile, yielding and submissive.

The mind itself is transformed into God by the power of the Name.
