Uddhava-Gita
TEXT 10.42|| SB 11.16.42
vacam yaccha mano yaccha pranan yacchedriyani caatmanam atmana yaccha na bhuyah kalpase ‘dhvane
Therefore, control your speech, subdue the mind, conquer the life air, and regulate the senses, and bring your rational faculties under control by means of purified intelligence. By doing so, you will never again fall down to the path of material existence.
COMMENTARY:
The Supreme Lord said, “Because everything is a manifestation of My opulence, you should respect all things by means of your body, mind, and speech. You should never chastise or blaspheme anyone out of envy.”
It is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.6.35):ativadams titikseta navamanyeta kancanana cemam deham asritya vairam kurvlta kenacit
One should tolerate all the insults of others, and never fail to show proper respect to everyone. Avoiding identification with the material body, one should not create enmity with anyone.
PURPORT:
If we carefully control the activities of our speech, mind, and senses, then we will never come under the sway of the illusory energy of the Lord, thinking of ourselves as the enjoyer. In that condition of self-control, one resides in the spiritual kingdom, which is situated beyond this material realm of anxiety.
