All the senses of a man are accustomed to seeing external things only. One should make these senses see the self or Atma. When he cannot divert his mind from bad and undesirable things and not be able to control his mind, he cannot get Atma-Sakshatkara even if he gets Jnana. One should always speak the truth under all circumstances and remain a bachelor. Man should choose only that which will do him good and not that which gives him pleasure.
Worldly matters give pleasure.
Spiritual matters do him good. Instead of going for temporary or momentary pleasures, one should prefer spiritual matters only, which do good to him. Man should have under control, the mind and sensory organs. If he goes for pleasures, the senses also will keep the mind occupied with these matters and there will not be any room for spiritual matters. He must keep his mind pure.
