Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam November 25, 2015

Why is senses-control as important asSadhana itself? Bhagawan explains

lucidly and hints at a step from where we can make a beginning.

Without the control of senses, spiritual practices (Sadhana) are

ineffective; it is like keeping water in a leaky pot. Pathanjali (the
celebrated sage and author of the Yoga Sutras) has said that when
tongue is conquered, victory is yours. While the eye, the ear and the nose
serve as instruments of knowledge about one particular characteristic of
Nature, the tongue makes itself available for two purposes: to judge taste
and to utter words - symbols of communication. You must control the
tongue with double care, since it can harm you in two ways. When the
tongue craves for some delicacy, assert that you will not cater to its
whims. If you persist in giving yourself simple food that is not savoury or
hot, but amply sustaining, the tongue may squirm for a few days, but it will
soon welcome it. That is the way to subdue it and overcome the evil
consequences of it being your master.
- Divine Discourse Nov 23, 1968.

The proper fulfilment of duties is part of the spiritual discipline necessary

to get enlightenment. Baba
