Chapter 6 · Dhyana Yoga
Self-Discipline · Restraining Desire at the Root
Meaning
"Abandoning without exception all desires born of selfish will, and restraining the whole group of senses on every side by the mind alone."
Explanation
The senses aren't the real problem—it's the restless intentions behind them; calm the will, and the senses follow.
Today's Life Lesson
