Kṛṣṇa provides the solution to the problem of the turbulent senses. The way to master them is to restrain them and fix one’s consciousness upon Him. This is the secret: not just saying “No” to the world, but saying “Yes” to God. When the mind is engaged in a relationship with the Divine (‘mat-paraḥ’), the senses naturally become subdued. It is easier to control the eyes if they are looking at a beautiful divine form; it is easier to control the tongue if it is chanting sacred names. External restraint becomes easy when there is internal connection. Kṛṣṇa declares that only the person who has their senses in full control through this connection has a truly steady intelligence. Self-mastery is not a solo achievement; it is a byproduct of being linked to the Supreme Source of all strength.
