SB 11.13.11
karoti kama-vasa-gah
karmany avijitendriyah
duhkhodarkani sampasyan
rajo-vega-vimohitah
Translation:
One who does not control the material senses comes under the control of material desires and is thus bewildered by the strong waves of the mode of passion. Such a person executes material activities, although clearly seeing that the result will be future unhappiness.
SB 11.13.12
rajas-tamobhyam yad api
vidvan viksipta-dhih punah
atandrito mano yuñjan
dosa-drstir na sajjate
Translation:
Although the intelligence of a learned person may be bewildered by the modes of passion and ignorance, he should again carefully bring the mind under control. By clearly seeing the contamination of the modes of nature, he does not become attached.
SB 11.13.13
apramatto ’nuyuñjita
mano mayy arpayañ chanaih
anirvinno yatha-kalam
jita-svaso jitasanah
Translation:
A person should be attentive and grave and never lazy or morose. Mastering the yoga procedures of breathing and sitting properly, one should practice fixing the mind on Me at dawn, noon and sunset, and thus gradually the mind should be completely absorbed in Me.
SB 11.13.14
etavan yoga adisto
mac-chisyaih sanakadibhih
sarvato mana akrsya
mayy addhavesyate yatha
Translation:
The actual yoga system as taught by My devotees, headed by Sanaka-kumara, is simply this: Having withdrawn the mind from all other objects, one should directly and appropriately absorb it in Me.
Purport:
The word yatha (“accordingly” or “properly”) indicates that like Uddhava one should hear directly from Lord Krsna or His bona fide representative and directly (addha) fix the mind in Lord Krsna.
