When a man is suffering from the effects of cobra-bite, they give him
chillies to chew; the idea is that the ailing person will not feel the
spicy taste, if the poison is still in his system. So too, when the
poison of worldly sensualism is there, worship, japam (contemplation),
and dhyanam (meditation) - all of this will taste drab and dismal. Above
all, insist on the senses obeying you when you command them to desist
from dragging you. Or else you are like a car without a brake. With the
senses under control, your intelligence will become clear to reflect
the Glory of God that pervades the Universe. That is the teaching of
the scriptures. Steady faith alone can help you earn victory. Hold on
till the realization is rewarded to you.
