Translation -
For one who has conquered the mind, the Supersoul is already reached, for he has attained tranquility. To such a man happiness and distress, heat and cold, honour and dishonour are all the same.
Explanation -
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 Paramatma. When the mind is misled by the external illusionary energy, one becomes entangles 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 the Supreme 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 Paramatma or Supersoul. Because, this transcendental position is at once achieved by one who is in Sri Krishna consciousness, the devotee of the Lord is unaffected by the dualities of material existence, namely distress and happiness, cold and heat. This state is practical Samadhi, or absorption in the Supreme.
So friends, my little advise to you is keep your mind clear atleast as of now, when you reach the appropriate age you can fix your mind on self-realization.
OM Shanti Shanti Shanti
