the demoniac beast: the mind

The mind is deluded by attractions and aversions. The mind is attached to the possession, control, and exploitation of matter. The mind wants to escape scrutiny and does not want to reverbate with the Mahamantra.

Krsna can subdue the mind by catching it and vanquishing it, and transforming it.

One must resist the pushings amd temptations of the mind to indulge in greed, lust, anger, envy, pride, and illusion.
