Actually, every living entity is intended to abide by the dictation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

who is seated in everyone’s heart as Paramātmā. When the mind is misled by the external, illusory
energy, one becomes entangled in material activities. Therefore, as soon as one’s mind is controlled
through one of the yoga systems, one should be considered to have already reached the destination.
One has to abide by superior dictation. When one’s mind is fixed on the superior nature, he has no
alternative but to follow the dictation of the Supreme. The mind must admit some superior dictation and
follow it. The effect of controlling the mind is that one automatically follows the dictation of the
Paramātmā, or Supersoul. Because this transcendental position is at once achieved by one who is in
Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the devotee of the Lord is unaffected by the dualities of material existence, namely
distress and happiness, cold and heat, etc. This state is practical samādhi, or absorption in the Supreme.
BG 6.7 purport by Srila Prabhupāda.

jñāna-vijñāna-tṛptātmā

kūṭa-stho vijitendriyaḥ

yukta ity ucyate yogī

sama-loṣṭrāśma-kāñcanaḥ BG 6.8

Book knowledge without realization of the Supreme Truth is useless. This is stated as follows:

ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi

na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ

sevonmukhe hi jihvādau

svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ

“No one can understand the transcendental nature of the name, form, quality and pastimes of Śrī Kṛṣṇa
through his materially contaminated senses. Only when one becomes spiritually saturated by
transcendental service to the Lord are the transcendental name, form, quality and pastimes of the Lord
revealed to him.” (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.234)

This Bhagavad-gītā is the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. No one can become Kṛṣṇa conscious simply by
mundane scholarship. One must be fortunate enough to associate with a person who is in pure
consciousness. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person has realized knowledge, by the grace of Kṛṣṇa, because he is
satisfied with pure devotional service. By realized knowledge, one becomes perfect. By transcendental
knowledge one can remain steady in his convictions, but by mere academic knowledge one can be easily
deluded and confused by apparent contradictions. It is the realized soul who is actually self-controlled,
because he is surrendered to Kṛṣṇa. He is transcendental because he has nothing to do with mundane
scholarship. For him mundane scholarship and mental speculation, which may be as good as gold to
others, are of no greater value than pebbles or stones.
