immediately search in Google and

scriptures through a Spiritual
Master, to find the real meaning of
PEACE and how to attain our inner
peace.

8. Does PEACE exists?

9. What are mankind’s problems?
• And many more…..for promoting peace for the
wellbeing of mankind. In spite of all these
efforts taken worldwide, why are mankind’s
problems increasing despite rapid growth of
science and technology?
• Why people are always anxiety ridden,
frustrated and very disturbed?
• Why more people are forced to take sleeping
pills in order to sleep?
• Why people are so terrified , they have to
screen their guests through a lens on their door
and CCTV cameras?
• What is missing in our society? Why PEACE is
missing everywhere and we are attempting to
find with small and big efforts?

10. What we must agree?
• We cannot blame the
government, politicians,
bureaucrats, police
officials, judiciary etc. for
the problem that the
world faces today.
• We are INTERNALLY
DISTURBED. So we create
disturbance for others.

11. The Solution is Mind Control
• We have to evaluate the nature of
our mind to understand ‘The Art of
Mind Control”.
• Identity crisis is the biggest problem
for us.
• Who am I? Am I this body, mind,
intelligence or the head or the nose?
• Know who you are before you know
your mind.
• We are not these bodies; we are pure
spiritual souls (Atma). The existence is
not based on the blind faith of a
group of religious followers.

12. Cause of unhappiness & the formula for happiness
• Vedic scriptures explain that the soul is constitutionally a
resident of an eternal realm, the spiritual world.
• It is explained in Upanishads that every soul is endowed
with a minute independence either to
choose to love and serve God, and
struggle for the so-called illusory
enjoyment in this material world.
• We would always like to choose the later one!

13. Body , Senses, Mind and Intelligence
• It is described in the Vedic literature that the gross
material body is like chariot.

14. Senses

15. Mind

16. Intelligence
• INTELLIGENCE – THE DECISION MAKER

17. Uncontrolled mind: what can it do to you?

18. What the sacred scriptures says?
• Bhagavad Gita (B.G) 3.42: “The working senses are superior
to dull matter, mind is higher than the senses; intelligence is
still higher than the mind; and he (the soul) is even higher
than the intelligence.”
• B.G 6.34 : “ The mind is restless,
turbulent, obstinate and very strong,
O Krishna, and to subdue it,
I think it is more difficult than controlling
the wind.”
• The mind is not satiated no matter how many of its desires
you try to fulfill.

19. What the sacred scriptures say?
• B.G.6.6: “ For him who has conquered the mind, the
mind is the best of friends; but for one who has
failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest
enemy.”
• The mind can be compared to a sharpened knife. The
miscreant uses to cause violence, but the surgeon
uses to save a life.

20. What the sacred scriptures says?
• B.G.2 – 62-63 : Lord Krishna says,” While contemplating
the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment
for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and
from lust anger arises. From anger
complete delusion arises, and
from delusion bewilderment of
memory. When memory is bewildered,
intelligence is lost one falls down
again into the material pool.”

21. Regulative Principles of Freedom

22. Mind control through meditation
• B.G.2.58 : “ One who is able to withdraw his senses
from sense objects, as the tortoise draws its limbs
within the shell, is firmly fixed in perfect
consciousness.”

through chanting Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, the great
deliverer of the mind.

Nasty Eva Nasti Eva Nasti Eva Gatir Anyatha
