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 susch if the quality of thinking, feeling and willing is changed, naturally the quality of actions by the instrumental senses will also change. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 02.01.17.
The self-effulgent Vaikuntha planets, by whose illumination alone all the illuminating planets within this material world give off reflected light, cannot be reached by those who are not merciful to other living entities.
Human life is meant for subduing the modes of passion and ignorance and advancing in the mode of goodness.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.10.8,
Srila Prabhupada
One who trusts in God must be equally kind and merciful towards all living entities. That is God consciousness.
