Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 1 - 6

The test of a yogī, devotee, or self-realized soul is that he is able to control the senses according to his plan.

BG 2.58, Purport: The test of a yogī, devotee, or self-realized soul is that he is able to control the senses according to his plan. Most people, however, are servants of the senses and are thus directed by the dictation of the senses. That is the answer to the question as to how the yogī is situated. The senses are compared to venomous serpents. They want to act very loosely and without restriction. The yogī, or the devotee, must be very strong to control the serpents—like a snake charmer. He never allows them to act independently.
