The mind is not to be killed. Mind or desire cannot be
stopped, but to develop a desire to function for
spiritual realization, the quality of engagement by
the mind has to be changed. The mind is the pivot of
the active sense organs, and as such if the quality of
thinking, feeling and willing is changed, naturally
the quality of actions by the instrumental senses will
also change.

Therefore, Śukadeva Gosvāmī recommends
the next step of assured policy, namely to fix one's
mind in the service of the Personality of Godhead.
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, also recommends this
direct process in the Bhagavad-gītā (6.47).
Thus, the mind being spiritually cleansed, one should
at once engage himself in the transcendental loving
service of the Lord by the different devotional
activities of hearing, chanting, etc. If performed
under proper guidance, that is the surest path of
progress, even for the disturbed mind.
