Beat Your Mind with Shoes
An uncontrolled mind is our worst enemy because it will keep us entangled eternally in the cycle of repeated birth and death. On the other hand a controlled mind is our best friend because it will enable us to regain our original eternal identities in the spiritual world. Therefore Srila Prabhupada very strongly instructs us to keep our minds under control. In his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Fifth Canto, Chapter 6, Text 4 Srila Prabhupada explains as follows:
"Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura used to say that in the morning our first business should be to beat the mind with shoes a hundred times. and, before going to bed, to beat the mind a hundred times with a broomstick. In this way one's mind can be kept under control. An uncontrolled mind and an unchaste wife are the same. An unchaste wife can kill her husband at any time, and an uncontrolled mind, followed by lust, anger, greed, madness, envy and illusion, can certainly kill the yogī. When the yogī is controlled by the mind, he falls down into the material condition. One should be very careful of the mind, just as a husband should be careful of an unchaste wife."
If we sincerely and carefully follow the above instruction, our lives will be unlimitedly sublime. Now it is up to each of us go do what we want to do. I hope you make the right choice.
