Acharya Prashant explains that the restraint of senses has inherent limits and cannot lead to ultimate liberation. He emphasizes that senses are merely instruments or messengers, and the real doer is the ego sitting behind them. True sense control is not a result of external discipline or violent suppression, such as physical punishment or forced abstinence, but is a spontaneous byproduct of self-knowledge. Without understanding the internal tendency or the 'rasa' (inclination for pleasure), external restraint only leads to internal strife, hypocrisy, and eventual failure when the suppressed desires inevitably explode. Referring to the Bhagavad Gita, he notes that even the wise can be carried away by turbulent senses. However, verse 59 provides the solution: the thirst for sensual pleasure only disappears when the Supreme is seen. Acharya Prashant argues that morality-driven guilt and forced discipline are often conspiracies to shield the ego. He suggests that instead of blindly following a manual of 'dos and don'ts', one should investigate the actuality of their attractions with the spirit of a scientist. Real freedom comes from observing one's actions, thoughts, and instincts to catch the invisible ego in the act, as the ego is defined by its deeds rather than its professed intentions.
