Text 23
śaknotīhaiva yaḥ soḍhuḿ

kāma-krodhodbhavaḿ vegam
sa yuktaḥ sa sukhī naraḥ

Translation:
Before giving up these present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of material senses and check the forces of desire and anger, he is well situated and happy in this world.


Pupport:
If one wants to make steady progress on the path of self-realization, he must try to control the forces of material senses. There are forces of talk, forces of anger, forces of mind, forces of the stomach, forces of the gentials, and the forces of the tongue. One who is able to control the forces of all these material senses, and the mind is called a gosvamis or svami. Such gosvamis live a strict controlled lives, forgo altogather the forces of the senses. Material Senses when unsatiated, generate anger, and thus the mind, eyes and the chest become agitated. Therefore, one must practise to control them before one gives up these material body. One who can do this is understood to be self -realized and is thus happy in the state of self realization. It is the duty of the transcedentalist to try strenuously to control desire and anger.
