When you walk along Anna Salai (old name Mount Road), Chennai (old name Madras), each Indriya tries its level best to get hold of its objects of enjoyment and revelry. The Indriyas revolt vehemently if you do not procure them these objects. Tongue drags you to the coffee hotel or Hotel de Angelis. Tvak (skin) says, “Let me go to the Mumbai’s Sait’s shop and have a piece of fine China silk”. Ear says, “Let me have a gramophone or harmonium”. Nose says, “Let me have a bottle of Otto de Rose“. The mind is at the bottom of these Indriyas to instigate. A tumultuous internal fight goes on between the five organs of knowledge, each trying to have a lion’s share of enjoyment. Use Viveka, power of discrimination, always. Indriyas tempt and deceive you. Indriyas are the jugglers. Maya spreads her Moha-Jala through mind and Indriyas. Be on the alert. Practice Dama through Vairagya and Vaasan-Tyaga. Happiness comes through calmness of Indriyas, through calmness of mind (Uparati). Go to the sweet’s bazaar with plenty of money in hand. Walk hither and thither for fifteen minutes. Look with a greedy eye at the various sweets. Do not purchase anything. Return home. Even if dainties are served that day at home, reject them. Have a plain diet. By so doing, you will control the tongue which is at the root of all troubles. You will eventually control the mind also. You will develop will-power.
