  Relinquish sense gratification…..………...... Nectarean Mellows   How important it is in our spiritual lives to execute our activities under regulation with control of the senses. The purpose of all regulative principles in devotional service is to learn to control the mind and senses so that they can be fully engaged in the service of the Lord otherwise a vaishnava sees no value in controlling the mind and senses. In the material world, of course, there are those who are in the influence in the mode of ignorance, passion and goodness. The true value of the mode of goodness is that it provides the most blessed opportunity to engage our mind and senses in Krsna’s service and thus transcend the modes of material nature. So to control the mind and the senses is very, very important. Sometimes it comes fashionable even within the society of vaishnavas where they do not want to speak about this topic of giving up sense gratification they are more concerned with speaking either prajalpa or gossip or sometimes they are very concerned with speaking about various pastimes and philosophies regarding the Personality of Godhead. However unless they are deeply convinced and motivated to control their mind and senses & relinquish sense gratification, they will have very little realisation of the subjects they are discussing.

-- Take advantage of this rare opportunity of this human form of life.  There are 8,400,000 different species of life through which we are rotating lifetime after lifetime. So getting a human body is not an every day affair. This most auspicious opportunity only comes after many millions of lifetimes in the lower species. Anyone who does not utilize their human life for self-realization is making the greatest mistake. When this happens it is the greatest tragedy, and unfortunately today this neglect of the human form has become the standard behavior for the entire human society. What can be done? We must first ourselves become solidly situated in Krishna consciousness and then do the highest welfare activity of spreading to everyone else all over the world.
