CHAPTER 3
Urging The Enemy’s Destruction
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन्। [ “That deluded man is a dissembler who apparently restrains his senses by violence[1] but whose mind continues to be preoccupied with objects of their gratification.” ] Such ignorant men who dwell upon sensual objects while restraining the senses outwardly by hatt yog are false men and not men of wisdom at all. It is evident that such practices were prevalent in the age of Krishn, too. There were some who, instead of practising what ought to be practiced just restrained their senses by unnatural means and claimed that they were wise and perfect. But according to Krishn such people are cunning liars. Whether our preference is the Way of Discrimination or the Way of Selfless Action, work has to be undertaken for each of them.
