Question: How can we control our senses?
Everybody has material desires, everybody has some bad material attachment.
You can control it through practising and by always thinking:
আর কবে নিতাইচাঁদ করুণা করিবে ।
সংসার-বাসনা মোর কবে তুচ্ছ হ'বে ॥
ara kabe nitaichand karuna karibe
samsara-vasana mora kabe tuchchha ha'be
When will Nitaichand give me His mercy? When will my material desires lose
all their importance?
"'Gauranga' bolite habe pulaka sarira" by Srila Narottam
Das Thakur
কবে নিত্যানন্দ মোরে করি' দয়া ।
ছাড়াইবে মোর বিষয়ের মায়া ॥
kabe nityananda more kari' daya
chhadaibe mora visayera maya
When will Nityananda be compassionate to me and relieve me from the mundane
illusion?
"Kabe habe bolo se dina amar" by Srila Bhakti Vinod
Thakur
"When will Nityananda Prabhu be kind to me? When will Nityananda Prabhu give
His mercy to me? When will my material desires be removed from my heart? I
have so many bad material desires! When will Nityananda remove them from my
heart?" Always cry, always think about it.
[His Divine Grace starts reading from
Sri Sri
Prema-Vivarta, chapter 10:]
Be always humble. Those who are not humble, who have ego,
"They neither respect Vaisnava devotees nor do they have any regard for
religion or irreligion. Out of pride, they always remain idle or commit
sins.
"Egotists who are proud of their caste and class oppose devotion and go to
hell." |
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu told,
"Remaining a cobbler, a soul who serves Krishna gets Krishna's mercy, and a
soul who is virtuous but devoid of devotion does not get Krishna's mercy.
"A brahman ornamented with the twelve qualities but devoid of devotion to
Krishna goes to hell.
"Ornaments on a dead body are revolting; a non-devotee's chanting and
austerity are comparable to such external 'wealth'." |
And how can you get relief from that?
"Brother, single-mindedly serve the son of Sachi [Mahaprabhu]. Then you will
give up your pride in your caste and class.
"Brother, when you give up your pride, you will give up the world, and when
you give up the world, your heart will become pure.
"Withdraw your affection from the world and dedicate it to the lotus feet of
Krishna.
"Pride is the way to hell. Carefully avoid it, and humbly immerse yourself in
the lotus feet of Radha and Govinda.
"The Lord bestows greater mercy upon the humble, and pride and humility do
not co-exist." |

Rupa-siksa: Pure
Devotion
|
'Pure devotion means you have no desire for anything without Krishna, and no
other desires about Krishna also—you only always want devotion to
Krishna. Why, when you practise Krishna consciousness, do you not get energy,
do you not feel happiness?'
