(A satsaṅga was done on 27-06-2021 in view of the occasion of marriage of Chi. Veena Datta and it is recorded below.)
Swāmi Replied:- There is no remedy for this because initially you may control your mind but after sometime your mind will revolt and will control you. There is no permenant remedy for this problem. If anything is done using force, such thing remains temporary only. A spontaneous and natural process shall be in the direction of decrease of force and not in the direction of increase of force. Force is the free energy that is available for work. Science says that any spontaneous process is in the direction of decrease of free energy. Hence, you must develop the procedure that is in accordance with the inherent nature of mind. You worship different forms of God remembering that God Datta alone exists in all the divine forms. The external form is only His external dress. Similarly, you adopt different forms of worship like reading a sacred book, singing or hearing the songs on God, seeing a devotional cinema etc. This will satisfy the inherent nature of mind, which is variation. You shall not waste time in fighting with the mind.
