sanskrit

'Such a person is described by the omnipotent, all-knowing Spirit as being without beginning or end, self-existent, immutable, incorporeal, and incomparable. This, O Brahmana, is the essence of what you have inquired about, and it is the result of true self-discipline. And this self-discipline can only be acquired by subduing the senses.' ।। 3-202-16 ।।

इन्द्रियाणां परसङ्गेन दॊषम ऋच्छत्य असंशयम संनियम्य तु तान्य एव ततः सिद्धिम अवाप्नुते ।। ३-२०२-१९ ।।

sanskrit

'By indulging in the senses, a person undoubtedly acquires vices, but by subduing them, he attains salvation. The self-restrained individual, who gains mastery over the six senses inherent in our nature, remains untainted by sin, and thus, evil holds no power over him.' ।। 3-202-19 ।।
