Enemies and Senses

One can curb the forces of sense gratification only by means of Krishna consciousness, or engaging all the senses in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. As enemies are curbed by superior force, the senses can similarly be curbed, not by any human endeavor, but only by keeping them engaged in the service of the Lord. One who has understood this — that only by Krishna consciousness is one really established in intelligence and that one should practice this art under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master — is called sadhaka, or a suitable candidate for liberation.
