Satisfaction of the mind can be obtained only by taking the mind away from thoughts of sense enjoyment. The more we think of sense enjoyment, the more the mind becomes dissatisfied. In the present age we unnecessarily engage the mind in so many different ways for sense gratification, and so there is no possibility of the mind's becoming satisfied. The best course is to divert the mind to the Vedic literature, which is full of satisfying stories, as in the #i#Purāṇas#/i# and the #i#Mahābhārata#/i#. One can take advantage of this knowledge and thus become purified. The mind should be devoid of duplicity, and one should think of the welfare of all. Silence means that one is always thinking of self-realization. The person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness observes perfect silence in this sense. Control of the mind means detaching the mind from sense enjoyment. One should be straightforward in his dealing and thereby purify his existence. All these qualities together constitute austerity in mental activities. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_16"#TEXT 16#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#मनः प्रसादः सौम्यत्वं मौनमात्मविनिग्रहः ।#/dd# #dd#भावसंशुद्धिरित्येतत्तपो मानसमुच्यते ॥१६॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#manaḥ-prasādaḥ saumyatvaṁ#/dd# #dd#maunam ātma-vinigrahaḥ#/dd# #dd#bhāva-saṁśuddhir ity etat#/dd# #dd#tapo mānasam ucyate#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=manaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#manaḥ-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=prasādaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#prasādaḥ#/i# — satisfaction of the mind; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=saumyatvam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#saumyatvam#/i# — being without duplicity towards others; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=maunam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#maunam#/i# — gravity; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ātma&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ātma#/i# — of the self; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vinigrahaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vinigrahaḥ#/i# — control; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=bhāva&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#bhāva#/i# — of one's nature; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=saṁśuddhiḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#saṁśuddhiḥ#/i# — purification; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=iti&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#iti#/i# — thus; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=etat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#etat#/i# — this; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tapaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tapaḥ#/i# — austerity; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=mānasam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#mānasam#/i# — of the mind; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ucyate&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ucyate#/i# — is said to be. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# #p#And satisfaction, simplicity, gravity, self-control and purification of one's existence are the austerities of the mind. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="PURPORT"#PURPORT#/span##/h4# #div class="purport"# #p#To make the mind austere is to detach it from sense gratification.
