In plain words
A yogi who cannot restrain it falls too, it is said. So in this śloka they have described well how very necessary sense control is. So, in order to curb these senses, we must keep the rāgas under control. Rāga means this: the very desire we let flow out over the objects of the senses is what is called rāga. So at this age we need to make the fitting effort to turn such desires toward the Lord of the universe. The young people of today are in a state where they do not understand what self-restraint means. From a young age they roam as they please, their mind sunk only in the desires of the senses; and because, as a result, there are no leaders at home to tell them what is good and what is bad, they keep trying to pass their life in mere pleasure. Through bad company and through films that deal with bad conduct, the minds of these young people are turned still more blind with lust; bad qualities such as pride, arrogance and excessive humility enter them; and they keep laying, to some extent, a royal road to downfall not only for the country but for their own lives too. Only the one who strives to control the senses at this age finds fulfilment; otherwise his very life turns futile. I hope too that you will teach and practise the fitting path for Bhārata, which today in the world is full of many upheavals, and through that develop for yourselves the noble life fitting for this world.
Lowest Prema, Middling Prema, Highest Prema
Dedicate your life to Satya, offer your actions for the good of the world, win renown for your parents, and so strive to make your birth worthwhile. The easy path to control such senses is one thing only: Prema. This Prema is free of self; and so, as we put it to use, its forms undergo change. Prema is of three kinds.
