How we get carried away by our senses

How often have we overeaten coz the food was yummy?

Or stayed up late coz the TV show was interesting?

Or just chatted away with friends?

So who decides to eat more the taste buds or our mind?? And who decides about watching more TV or continuing to chat ??

Its very easy to get carried away by , when our mind is enjoying what our senses are passing on (when the mind is not under our full control) !

And we admire people who have good self control. We believe we have good self control and will do it only if challenged. That is not control. Having the control as a natural part on oneself is true discipline.

Gita teaches the importance of controlling the mind & how one can do it.
