Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Since it is not possible without controlling the senses to be one in  steady
wisdom; it is strongly recommended that in the practice  of  ones  spiritual
austerities one apply themselves diligently in this regard. The  senses  are
so turbulent that they can forcibly take  the  mind  of  even  a  person  of
discrimination, for the senses are very agitating.

Thus ends the commnentary to Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, Chapter 2, verse  60,  by
Sridhara Swami.


Bhagavad-Gita


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Even men of wisdom who lack spiritual experience and  resort  to  using  the
mind as their only medium of  understanding  are  soon  overpowered  by  the
senses. What then is the impediment to those who take pride  in  the  bodily
conception? Lord Krishna  use  of  the  word  pramathini  meaning  turbulent
indicates one who is assailed by agitation.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Until and unless self-realisation is attained by direct soul  cognition  the
cravings and attachments for sensual experiences will never  entirely  cease
to  exist  subtly  or  physically.  The  concerted  exertions  of  even  the
persevering yogi can all be to no avail against the  restless  and  powerful
senses of which any one of them can forcibly decoy the  mind  astray.   Thus
the conquest of the senses is ultimately dependent upon realisation  of  the
eternal soul and the perception of the soul is  dependent  upon  control  of
the senses. Thus  Lord  Krishna  alludes  to  the  difficulty  there  is  in
striving for soul cognition following  jnana-nishta  by knowledge only.
