In plain words
So you must recognise the truth of these senses, enjoy their forms and names well, and then make the effort to set them on the right path. A great poet sang a great song about the senses.
There may be a head full of evil thoughts, a mouth that carries complaints, eyes that spy from hiding, ears that listen at the doorways, a picture of deceitful qualities, a mind that deceives: seeing ways like these, justice will live no longer, brother.
Humanness is what pursues the search for Satya, weighs what is just, and leads one onto the sacred path of Brahman. Man is vowed to Satya. He is devoted to Dharma. He must keep true and meaningful the name of the humanness that holds justice alone as his home. These five senses in man bring him into many kinds of trouble. Each sound has tormented only one creature each. Deer, waves, elephants, birds and reeds: each of them has come under the sway of one of sound, touch, form, taste and smell. Of these, the one overcome by sound is the deer. The one overcome by touch and made a slave is the elephant. No one can say how great the strength of the elephant is. Even an elephant so strong is bound by touch. The moth sees the form of fire and, ready even to give up its life, comes and falls into the fire. The fish, relishing the taste of the flesh, does not count even its life and is caught in it. The bee, longing for the nectar in the flower, loses its life. In this way each creature falls under the power of sound, touch, form, taste or smell. But when man has these five, how can he stay out of their power? Then there is no need to speak of his case. They fall under the power of all of them. He becomes utterly weak.
Once he called Prahlāda, the son of the demon emperor Hiraṇyakaśipu, to him and sent him to the Caṇḍāmarkas to be taught. He went on, without a break, remembering the name of Hari, which was against his father's will. The father could not bear it. He called these Caṇḍāmarkas and said, 'You must make the effort to find a way to stop this name of Hari and set him on the path of the physical, worldly life.'
