Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

So now your hands and legs are engaged with upādhi. Everyone is working "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am brāhmaṇa," "I am śūdra," "I am this family's head," "This," "That," so many . . . so you have to forget this, that "I don't belong to this material world and so nice division," either you call brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, or American, Indian, these are . . . "No. Purely I am spirit soul, and my business is to serve Kṛṣṇa." Then you will be able to control your senses.

So how you can be master of the senses? It is dependent on something else, the master of senses. When Kṛṣṇa says, sarvataḥ pāṇi-pādas tat . . . Kṛṣṇa has got hands and legs everywhere, or Brahman has got hands and legs. What is that hands and legs? Your hand, my hand, it is the Brahman's hand, because you are part and parcel of Brahman. So now your hands and legs are engaged with upādhi. Everyone is working "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am brāhmaṇa," "I am śūdra," "I am this family's head," "This," "That," so many . . . so you have to forget this, that "I don't belong to this material world and so nice division," either you call brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, or American, Indian, these are . . . "No. Purely I am spirit soul, and my business is to serve Kṛṣṇa." Then you will be able to control your senses.

Because senses want engagement. If you artificially stop, it will not stay. For the time being it may be appearing, but it is not possible. You cannot be desireless. Sometimes we say that, "We should be desireless." That is not possible. When you are desireless, then you are dead man. That is not possible.
