True sense control arises from superior attraction to Krishna, not forced artificial suppression of desire.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: yad īśvare bhagavati yathā yair añjasā ratiḥ [SB 7.7.29] [Of the different processes recommended for disentanglement from material life, the one personally explained and accepted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead should be considered all-perfect. That process is the performance of duties by which love for the Supreme Lord develops.] So Prahlāda Mahārāja is recommending. There are different kinds of yoga and the purpose of yoga is bīja-nirharaṇam. Bīja—the seed, which is sprouting in so many trees and branches; or material entanglement.
So that bīja, that seed has to be, what is called, extinguished. Bīja-nirharaṇam. Just like during rainy season we find various kinds of vegetation and during summer season they all dry. During winter.
Eh? Just like in your country during winter season there is no leaves. All trees are simply wood standing. But as soon as there is spring the leaves come out, sprout.
So why? Because the source or the cause of the leaves coming out is already there, so bīja-nirharaṇam. This propensity for sense gratification is just like a bīja, the same example. The all the grasses, all the different vegetation's dry up. And as soon as there is favorable conditions, little water, but because the tree is there, they again come out.
Again come out. So artificially stopping the senses will not help us. This is yogīs. They were by artificial means they try to control the senses but that will not help.
As soon as there is favorable circumstances they will come. There are many instances. That is repeat... repeatedly expressed in Bhagavad-gītā [2.59], paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. [The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.] Even Viśvāmitra Muni, great yogī, he also failed.
He was in great meditation and as soon as there was a chance of meeting a very nice beautiful woman, he failed. So Prahlāda Mahārāja is recommending not that type of yoga. Which will fail. It will fail. There is so many instances.
