Control of the body and senses can be achieved only by spiritual practices and not by any other means. You must avoid wasting precious time in useless pursuits. You must be ever vigilant and engage the senses of perception and action by performing congenial and noble tasks to keep yourself busy. There should be no room for sloth to creep in. Also, every act must promote the good of others. Thus, while performing your daily duties in this manner, you can sublimate the body and senses, and uplift yourself.
- Sutra Vahini, Chap 1 "Six Primary Virtuess".
