Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

As soon as your tongue is controlled, immediately your stomach is controlled, immediately next your genital is controlled. Simple thing. Controlling the body, mind. Mind being fixed on Kṛṣṇa, no other engagement: controlled.

So if you are always full of anxieties, where there is question of peace? You go, I go in the street, I see, "Beware of dog." They are living in a very nice house, but full of anxieties, "Somebody may not come. Let there be dog." You see? "Beware of dog." "No trespassers." That means although living in a nice cottage, very nice, but full of anxieties. Full of anxieties. Sitting in an office, very nice, good salary, always thinking, "Oh, I may not lose this office." (laughter) You see? You see?

American nation, very rich nation . . . very defense . . . defense force, everything—always anxious, "Oh, the Vietnamese may not come here." You see? So who is free from anxiety? Therefore the conclusion is if you want peace without anxieties, then you have to come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. There is no other alternative. It is practical. Just try to understand.

Therefore here it is said: "By meditating in this manner, meditating upon Me, Kṛṣṇa, always controlling the body." The first control is tongue. And the next control is the genital. Then you control everything. You give your tongue engagement for chanting and eating kṛṣṇa-prasāda, it is controlled, finished.

And as soon as your tongue is controlled, immediately your stomach is controlled, immediately next your genital is controlled. Simple thing. Controlling the body, mind. Mind being fixed on Kṛṣṇa, no other engagement: controlled. Activities, always doing Kṛṣṇa's work: gardening, typing, cooking, working, everything for Kṛṣṇa, activities. "The mystic transcendentalist then"—immediately they become mystic transcendentalist—"attains to peace, the supreme nirvāṇa, which abides in Me." It is only in Kṛṣṇa. You cannot find out peace outside Kṛṣṇa activities, outside Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is not possible.
