Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 17 verse 16

 Chapter 17 verse 16 

“Serenity of thought, gentleness, silence, self-control, and purity of purpose—all these are declared as the austerity of the mind.” 

Austerity of mind is even more supreme than austerity of body and speech and that much more difficult. However those who control their mind, controls their destiny. Journey is to replace bad thoughts with good more every moment and eventually get to the state of thoughtlessness. This is the sure shot way of stress less living. Mind control requires lots of self-control and ability to bring a lot of discipline to one’s life overall. What we think, we act and what we act becomes our character and hence charts our destiny. Hence it is important to think right.
