I Beg to know, how to control our mind to refuse sensual indulgence at least when it affects our health and duties.

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

The mind is enslaved to habits. So it will not obey you if you order it to stop doing something that it has been accustomed to. It is only by constant practice that one can get rid of habits.

 

The best way to overcome it is to chant with patience and perseverance.
