Destruction of Senses: The Bhagavad Gita
Destruction of Senses: The Bhagavad Gita
The mind which runs after senses that indulge in sense pleasures, destroys the soul feeling of a spiritual seeker. So a true spiritual seeker should not allow mind to wander after sense matters. When senses are completely destroyed then prajna becomes steadfast. The urge to experience sensual pleasures through senses causes karma and karmaphala. So peace can be achieved only by those who have complete control over senses and sense pleasures.
Destruction of Senses (Controlling Senses)
What is meant by destruction of senses? Is it merely not experiencing sense matters by senses? Does sense destruction happens when eyes are not seeing and ears are not hearing? The real sense destruction is teaching senses to experience only the truth or soul in everything. When one always thinks about the ultimate truth becomes capable of seeing everything as Brahma. Gradually it becomes possible to visualize what are seen and what are heard as Brahma. Whatever he sees are Brahma, whatever he hears are Brahma. Thus senses learn to avoid attachment and desire for sense subjects. Thus, the sense subjects which are considered as Brahma do not become allure to senses.
For whom, every urges of sensual pleasures does not produce any emotions even in the proximity of sensual matters then he attains peace. One should abandon all urges of sensual pleasures and should avoid all desires, attachments and ego.
These are the ways to attain Brahma. If it is attained once, no one perplexes in worldly sorrows in life of births and deaths. If the Brahma is attained at least at old age then one can enjoy Brahmananda and gains liberation.
