Maintaining mental balance through sense control From a Parisamvada by

- Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra

We will think about what are called as senses or sense organs.

These are there but we are hardly aware about the way they function. They are the sources for all kinds of information, whether it is by seeing, listening, touching, etc. They are the five windows that bring us all the information from outside, but we are not so careful to know what kind of information they are bringing. Our policy is like an open house where anything can enter. We allow ourselves to see something that maybe vulgar or horror, but we don't mind. We also listen to gossip and stories that go on in society.
