The

senses have to be controlled, primarily because they pursue deleterious

influences that harass man and lead him into ruin. Inner peace is lost

when the senses feed man on inciting wants and infructuous desires. For

the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant), what the senses imbibe must always be

pure and Sathwic in nature, that which promotes humility, equanimity

and simplicity. If the impressions are Rajasic (inducing passion), the

mind will get agitated and vengeful. If they are Tamasic (inducing

dullness of mind), the mind will not even be aroused into the awareness

of its own shortcomings. It is only the Sathwic impulses that will keep

the mind on an even keel, fully concentrated on the Atma on which one

must contemplate in order to attain peace.
