For beings immersed in the world, there are two obstacles that must be overcome: the craving for animal desires and the craving of the tongue. Every one of you must conquer these. So long as they persist, they cause sorrow. These are the causes of all sins, and sin is the manure on which maya (delusion) thrives. Those aspiring for liberation should subdue the senses. To conquer these desires, whatever activity you do - eating, walking, studying, serving or moving - you should perform them in the belief that they lead you to the presence of God. Every action should be done in a spirit of dedication to the Lord.
- Prema Vahini, Chapter "Sat-Sankalpa is the Path for Attaining the Presence"
