VERSE 3

We must train ourselves to control the senses. When we acquire this sense-control, we shall feel a sense of freedom in the mind. Tranquillity ensures it. Craving and lust seem pleasures concealing a core of inevitable pain.

If the impulsion of the senses is controlled, tranquillity will come into being without any further effort. Then will ensue a joy that will endure. To attain it, first the eyes must be held under check. Such restraint of the senses is prescribed not for being known

as a mahatma or a sage. It is essential for one's ordinary welfare and mental peace.
