Bhagavad Gita As It IsVerse 2.64

Regulated Freedom

But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.

The Transmission

Real freedom is found through discipline, not whimsy. By following the four regulative principles and chanting the Maha Mantra, the senses become purified and aligned with the Lord's service.

Reflection Gradient

Uncontrolled senses are like wild horses leading the chariot of the body to destruction. Let Krishna hold the reins.

Practical Application

Observe your habits today. Which ones lead you closer to Krishna, and which ones are mere sense gratification?
