Kāma means desire. So at the present moment, we are desiring how to become happy in this material world, how to acquire so much money, how to acquire this, how to acquire this, how to get this, how to get that. This is kāma. So this brain taxation, if you engage in Kṛṣṇa's service—how to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness, how to convince people about Kṛṣṇa, how to take them to the Kṛṣṇa's desire, sarva-dharmān parityajya (BG 18.66)—and in this way, if you go on making plan for spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then your mind is controlled.

Arjuna might be anything, but he was always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. He was always associating with Kṛṣṇa. He did not know anything else, Kṛṣṇa. That is the position of first-class ''yogī''. Otherwise, if you try to control the mind from ''kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mātsarya'', that is not possible. You have to change the position of such activities.

Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura. . . Here it is said that ''kāma-sambhavaḥ. Kāma, kāma'' means desire. So mind is restless, always desiring something, desiring something. So the best policy to control the mind is to desire how to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is the best. ''Kāmaḥ kṛṣṇa-karmārpaṇe''. Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has said that you cannot be free from desire. That is not possible. This is useless attempt. They say that "You become desireless." No, that is not possible. How can I. . .? If I become desireless, I become dead. So long I am living entity, I must desire. I cannot check it. Therefore ''kāma'' means desire. So at the present moment, we are desiring how to become happy in this material world, how to acquire so much money, how to acquire this, how to acquire this, how to get this, how to get that. This is ''kāma''. So this brain taxation, if you engage in Kṛṣṇa's service—how to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness, how to convince people about Kṛṣṇa, how to take them to the Kṛṣṇa's desire, ''sarva-dharmān parityajya'' ([[vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])—and in this way, if you go on making plan for spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then your mind is controlled.

You cannot stop desire. That is not possible. The ''kāma-sambhavaḥ. . . Saṅkalpa-vikalpābhyāṁ vartate kāma-sambhavaḥ''. This is the mind's position. I am desiring something, and if it is not very palatable, then I reject it. I accept another desire. This is. You cannot keep the mind vacant even for a single moment. Nobody has got this experience, that mind is vacant. If by force you are trying to do that, it is simply laboring. It is not possible. Just like to concentrate one's mind in the vacant. . . ''Kleśo 'dhikataras teṣām avyaktāsakta-cetasām'' ([[vanisource:BG 12.5 (1972)|BG 12.5]]). ''Kleśaḥ, kleśaḥ adhikataras teṣām'', impersonal and void. If you want to engage your mind in the impersonality or voidness of variegatedness, it is simply very, very difficult. The best, easy way of controlling the mind. . . Because Kṛṣṇa has said that ''yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā  antar-ātmanā. . . śraddhāvān bhajate yo mām'' ([[vanisource:BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]]). This is the way.
