Worldly people decry sense renunciation as method of torture not realizing that their sense slavery is excruciating to the soul qualities! Even the resolute devotee questing for soul joy wearies now and then of the requisite constant self-discipline. But disciplining the senses is essential for well-being in every stratum of life. As servants of the soul, the senses should be trained always to please it. When the wisdom of the soul is over powered by the vagaries of the impulse directed, habit- blinded senses, the result of this anarchy is misery._Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.God talks with Arjuna:p.187
