Although one
is seriously engaging the mind in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the mind
is so flickering that it may suddenly be deviated from its spiritual position.
One should then carefully bring the mind back under the control of the self. It
is stated in Bhagavad-gītā that if one is too austere or too sensuous one
cannot control the mind. Sometimes one may bring the mind under control by
allowing the material senses limited satisfaction. For example, although one
may eat austerely, from time to time one may accept a reasonable amount of
mahā-prasādam, opulent foods offered to the temple Deities, so that the mind
will not become disturbed. Similarly, one may occasionally relax with other
transcendentalists through joking, swimming and so forth. But if such
activities are performed excessively, they will lead to a setback in spiritual
life. When the mind desires sinful gratification such as illicit sex or
intoxication, one must simply tolerate the mind’s foolishness and by strenuous
effort push on with Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Then the waves of illusion will soon subside, and the
path of advancement will again open wide.
