How to control our mind?

• Mind can be controlled by constant effort to fix it on God.
• Sit alone and watch the mind and its moments.
• Be indifferent and unattached. Remain a witness. Do not identify yourself with the thoughts.
• Do not think of the past. Do not plan for future. Live in the present.
• Read spiritual books. Do meditation regularly. Participate in satsang.
• Do help a person in need or suffering.
• Repetition of a mantra destroys impurities of the mind.
• Make the mind inward. In this Kali Yuga, the easiest way for controlling the mind is singing the Lord's name.
• Food influences the mind. Take fruits, vegetables and nuts frequently.
• Practise moderation in diet. Selfless service with a feeling of unity with everyone is highly effective in purifying the mind. Do no struggle with the mind.
• Be regular in your sadhana.
