Control the senses by offering them the supreme engagement

The senses are actually active symptoms of life, and they

cannot be stopped. They can be detached only if there is superior

engagement. As it is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, param drstva nivartate:

the activities of the senses can be stopped if they are given superior

engagements. The supreme engagement is engagement of the senses in the

service of the Lord. That is the purpose of all yoga.
