So our senses are so strong. If you stop this sense, the other sense is prepared to kill you. Because they are called enemies, they are manah sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg. 15.7]. We are struggling for existence with the mind and the senses. Otherwise it is explained in the Bhagavad-gita, "These living entities, they are My part and parcel." That means "They are as good as I am." Why they are rotting in this material world? Because on account of the mind and the senses. So yoga practice you have to control first of all the mind, and then you have to control the senses. That is perfection of yoga.
