2. Kill Fear and Anger

Having an uncontrolled mind is like riding an unbridled, powerful horse that destroys all it comes across.

असंयतात्मना योगो दुष्प्राप इति मे मतिः |
वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्योऽवाप्तुमुपायतः || ६ ३६ ||
asamya-taatmanaa yogo
dush-praapa iti me matihi
vash-yaatmanaa tu yatataa
shakyo’vaaptum-upaa-yataha (SBG 6:36)
Yoga is difficult to attain for a person whose mind is not controlled. But it is possible for one who has his mind under control and works through prescribed means.

In My opinion, attaining Yoga by a person whose mind is not bridled is difficult. However, people who have learned to control their minds, and who strive sincerely through righteous means, can reach perfection in Yoga. (SBG 6:36)

Social Responsibility and Care for Nature.

Teaching or practising duality in spirituality amounts to belittling and disrespecting the All-Pervading Divine Principle known as Paramartha Tattva.

sarva-bhoota-hite rataaha (SBG 5:25)

Those who are free from all sins, whose minds are disciplined and are beyond dualities arising out of doubts, and who are always engaged in the welfare of all living beings, are Rishis (holy people) who attain Brahmanirvana (liberation). (SBG 5:25)

Never give anyone or anything the power to control the state of your mind.

A person with a clear understanding of the Supreme Brahman has a detached and stable intellect. Such a person neither takes pleasure in receiving something pleasant nor does he grieve on receiving something unpleasant. He is always situated in the transcendent state of Brahman. (SBG 5:20)
