- Apply Celing of desires to senses
- Using thought, word & deed in conjunction with our actions
- Making consicous decisions & be aware of the decisions we make through our conduct
What is Purpose of controlling our Senses?
- Controll the senses as to it does not overwhelm us in our daily actions
- Swami says Youth is Determination & Determination is to control the senses
How do Young Adults have this Determination?
- Determination is a Level of Conviction (wanting to improve all the time)
- {De-Termination} - Terminate all the bad senses
- Young adult is the age where youths can have a determination to mould ourselves so that it can be applied to 75% part of our life. Kids at younger ages are not matured enough to think and old people have already crossed 75% of their lives
How do we practise Sense Control?
- Effectively use time & energy
- Taste for food: our senses become more sublime after a while so that you no longer crave for them
- Craving for Swami: seeing him, touching him, personal interviews etcc (We have to realise Swami is everywhere (Swami says where man is God is , Deivam Manusha Rupena, God takes the form of man)
Other discussions?
- Does control of senses require experience of that sense? eg: craving for Swami
- Starving the sense is not control of senses - If you stop doing something long enough, desire for that fades
- Sense control is mainly moving around our desires to other activities rather than trying to stop one particular thing (eg: Fill your time with Godly thoughts & desires)
