The BhagavadGita
A walkthrough for Westerners
Jack Hawley copyrite 2001

when people pull back from worldly pleasures thier knowledge of the Divine grows, and this knowing causes the yearning for pleasure to gradually fade away. ... Much of one's spiritual discapline must there for focus on taming wayward sense and being ever vigalant against the treacherousness of the senses. .... The Illuminated ones subdue thier sense and hold them in check by keeping thier minds ever intent on achieving the overarching goal of union with God. They get in the habit of substituting divine thoughts for attractions of the senses.
