The senses are like trained highwaymen expert in snatching away our valuable time.
A bhakti yogi who regulates his or her senses outsmarts these swindlers by shrewdly giving them not what they ask for, but just enough to keep them happy.
One who becomes expert in diplomacy when dealing with the demanding senses lives a balanced, wholesome life and saves precious time for hearing and chanting about Krishna.
“Life’s desires should never be directed toward sense gratification. One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing else should be the goal of one’s works.” (SB 1.2.10)
