Text 10]
The Lord Slays the King of the Demons
129
cañcalam hi manaḥ kṛṣṇa pramāthi balavad dṛḍham tasyāham nigraham manye vāyor iva suduṣkaram
“For the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Kṛṣṇa, and to subdue it, it seems to me, is more difficult than controlling the wind.” The only bona fide process for controlling the mind is to fix the mind by service to the Lord. We create enemies and friends according to the dictation of the mind, but actually there are no enemies and friends.  Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ. Samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu mad-bhaktim labhate parām.  To understand this is the preliminary condition for entering into the kingdom of devotional service.
