The senses are notorious in their ability to drag the mind deeper into material illusion. They tempt the living being to seek immediate gratification. However, walking the path of virtue requires forsaking the lower sensual pleasures for achieving the higher goal. Thus, restraint of the senses is an essential virtue for success in any field. Sensual desires are not eliminated by their fulfillment, rather they are eliminated by self-control and will power. The way out of these desires is to learn to hold them in check. Remember, these desires seem insignificant initially but can consume one if left ungoverned. When we indulge in the pleasures of the senses, we don’t realize that the same activity, if repeated, again and again, can lead to the downfall of our life. That is why it is important to check temptation at the first instance and keep the senses in restraint. So, Lord Krishna asks Arjun, at the outset, to curb the desires of the senses. Permitting them to arise is the cause of our miseries, while eliminating them is the way to peace.
