Control of Senses

Brahmacharya involves disciplining all senses, not just sexuality.

Beyond sexual restraint, brahmacharya means controlling all sensory indulgence. Excessive eating, seeking pleasure through any sense, diverts energy from spiritual growth.

Master the senses before they master you.
