ĀTMĀNUŚĀSANA – PRECEPT ON THE SOUL by Ācārya GUṆABHADRA (ca. 818–900 A.D.) [66]
Gātha 64
O worthy being! As the meek slave of your senses, like the eye, or the mind that rules over your senses, why do you chase anxiously the sense-pleasures, like the beauty-objects, and get involved in lowly conduct which only adds to your sins? Take control of your senses and, getting rid of anxiousness, ignore totally those sense-pleasures. Make your soul happy by mastering the senses. Adopt such right conduct and you will wash off your sins. On being liberated, you will enjoy excellent bliss.
