Self control is the cardinal prerequisite of all Sadhana.

It leads to command over one's mind-stuff and senses.

It is the basic pivot

of all spiritual endeavour.

-   Param Pujya Ma

Chapter 5 Shlokas 8, 9

नैव किञ्चित्करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित्।

पश्यञ्शृण्वन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपञ्श्वसन्।।८।।

प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नुन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि ।

इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेषु वर्तन्त इति धारयन्।।९।।

Even whilst seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating,

walking, sleeping, breathing, speaking, ingesting,

expelling, opening the eyes and also closing the eyes,

that Yogi, who is a Knower of the Truth,

comprehending that it is the senses that interact

with the objects of sense, knows that ‘I do naught’.
