Chandobhai: You see, now He tells all the practice of the yoga.

sarva-dvārāṇi saṁyamya

mano hṛdi-nirudhya ca

mūrdhny ādhāyātmanaḥ prāṇam

āsthito yoga-dhāraṇām

(BG 8.12)

Prabhupāda: Yes, that's . . . artificially you cannot saṁyama. If your mind is not fixed up, artificially you cannot make. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad gata . . . (BG 6.47). One who is thinking of Kṛṣṇa, he is perfect yogī.

Chandobhai: But he has to be yogī at that time, isn't it?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Sarva-dvārāṇi saṁyamya. Just like these boys, they do not go to see cinema, they do not go to restaurant. This is sarva-dvārāṇi saṁyamya. You see? They do not go to anywhere except in the temple. They do not talk anything nonsense, except Kṛṣṇa. This is sarva-dvārāṇi saṁyamya.

Dr. Patel: They should not talk anything else except Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Vacaṁsi vaikuṇṭha-guṇānuvarṇane (SB 9.4.18). So this is sam . . . unless you give engagement to the senses, proper, how you can control it? Your eyes want to see beautiful man or woman. (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa. But when you are captivated by seeing the Deity of Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā, then it's . . . that eyes being engaged otherwise is stopped. That has been explained by Prabodānanda Sarasvatī:

Durdantendriya-kāla-sarpa-

paṭalī-protkhāta-daṁstrāyate

(Caitanya-candrāmṛta 5).

Protkhāta-damstrāyate. Protkhāta means extracted, the poison tree. The poison tree of the tee . . . uh, teeth of the snake is dangerous. Now, here is a snake. Everyone is afraid, "Oh, snake! Snake! Snake!" But if everyone knows that his poison teeth have been taken away, then there is no more danger. Similarly, these indriyas have been compared with the kāla-sarpa-paṭalī. Kāla-sarpa-paṭalī. But . . .

Dr. Patel: What do you call?

Prabhupāda: Kāla, kāla-sarpa means the dead-poisonous snake, kāla-sarpa-paṭalī. Everyone knows. As soon as you use some indriya, there is some dangerous result. Tṛpyanti neha kṛpanā bahu-duḥkha-bhājaḥ (SB 7.9.45).
