II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

अर्जुना आणिकही एक I सांगेन ऐकें कवतिक I जे विषयातें साधक I त्यजिती नियमें II 303 II
श्रोत्रादि इंद्रियें आवरिती I परि रसने नियमु न करिती I ते सहस्रधा कवळिजती I विषयीं इहीं II 304 II
जैसी वरिवरी पालवी खुडिजे I आणि मुळीं उदक घालिजे I तरी कैसेनि नाशु निपजे I तया वृक्षा II 305 II
तो उदकाचेनि बळें अधिकें I जैसा आडवेनि आंगें फांके I तैसा मानसीं विषो पोखे I रसनाद्वारें II 306 II
येरां इंद्रियां विषय तुटे I तैसा नियमूं न ये रस हटें I जें जीवन हें न घटे I येणेंविण II 307 II
मग अर्जुना स्वभावें I ऐसियाही निमयातें पावे I जैं परब्रम्ह अनुभवें I होऊनि जाइजे II 308 II
तैं शरीरभाव नासती I इंद्रियें विषय विसरती I जैं सोहंभावप्रतीति I प्रगट होय II 309 II

"Let me now draw your attention to something amusing said Lord Krishna to Arjun. There are many who control their senses with great resolve. Yet the sense of taste happens to be one of the most challenging senses to overcome due to its strong connection to pleasure and attachment to material enjoyment. It is just like even if the newly sprouting leaves of a tree are clipped off, it doesn't stop a tree to flourish if it's roots are watered abundantly. The control of the sense of taste is difficult because food is vital for living. When the realization that "I am Brahman" comes true, this transformotive experience leads to Self-Realization, a sense of Oneness with all existence, and freedom from worldly attachments such as the sense pleasures."
