Leaving their taste behind, the sense-objects retreat from the embodied one who abstains from food; his taste too disappears when he beholds the Supreme.
The objects of sense turn from him who is abstemious. Even the relish for them is lost in him who has seen the Truth.
The objects of senses, excepting relish for the objects, turn away from the abstinent dweller in the body. Even the relish turns away from him when what is supreme over the senses i.e., the self, is seen.
The objects recede from an abstinent man, with the exception of the taste (for them). Even the taste of this person falls away after realization the Absolute.
The objects of the senses turn away from the abstinent man, leaving the longing (behind); but his longing also turns away on seeing the Supreme.

Restraining the same organs by the mind, the master of Yoga would sit, making Me their goal; for the intellect of that person is stabilized whose sense-organs are under control.
Restraining them all, let him meditate steadfastly on Me; for who thus conquers his senses achieves perfection.
Having controlled all the senses, let him remain in contemplation, regarding Me as supreme; for, his knowledge is firmly set whose senses are under control.
Controlling all of them, one should remain concentrated on Me as the supreme. For, the wisdom of one whose organs are under control becomes steadfast.
Having restrained them all he should sit steadfast, intent on Me; his wisdom is steady whose senses are under control.
