Control the tongue first, and all other senses naturally follow toward Krishna's service.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Anantarām Śāstrījī: [chants mantras] kṛṣṇaika-ceta mada-moha-vināśa-kārin mad-dṛṣṭi-gocara prabho prabhupāda-svāmin doṣā vivṛddhi-pariduṣita-manda-buddheḥ sañcintayāmi caraṇau tava bhakti-hetoḥ [O lord, O Prabhupāda, may you always be the object of my vision. Only the name of Kṛṣṇa can destroy my pride and illusion. Although my mind and intelligence are contaminated by ever increasing faults and wicked inclinations, I meditate upon your lotus feet in causeless devotion.] ahaṁ jīvo vedmi nābhaṁ śarīraṁ karṇetā bhavata pādareṇu sāṁsārika māyayā līlā deho nadīṁ mayaṁ paratum icchāmi deva. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, 7.9.40 [chants verse; Prabhupāda and devotees respond] [break] jihvā ekato acyuta vikarṣati māvitṛptā śiśno 'nyatas tvag-udaraṁ śravaṇaṁ kutaścit ghrāṇo anyataś capala-dṛk kva ca karma-śaktir bahvyaḥ sapatnya iva geha-patiṁ lunanti [SB 7.9.40] [03:06] Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Translation: "My dear Lord, the infallible one, my high position is just like a person having more than one wife, the co-wives trying to attract the husband in their own different ways. For example, the tongue is being attracted to palatable dishes. The genital wants to have sex with an attractive woman.
The touch sensation is trying to contact soft things. The belly, although fulfilled, still wants to eat more. And generally the ear, without attempting to hear about You, is attracted for cinema songs. The smelling sensation is still another side; restless eyes to see sense gratificatory sense scenes; and the active senses attracting on another side.
In this way I am embarrassed." Prabhupāda: jihvā ekato acyuta vikarṣati māvitṛptā śiśno 'nyatas tvag-udaraṁ śravaṇaṁ kutaścit ghrāṇo anyataś capala-dṛk kva ca karma-śaktir bahvyaḥ sapatnya iva geha-patiṁ lunanti [SB 7.9.40] It is a very good example. In the previous verse Prahlāda Mahārāja explained, naitan manas tava kathāsu vikuṇṭha-nātha samprīyate durita-duṣṭam asādhu tīvram [SB 7.9.39]. So kṛṣṇa-kathā is not palatable. This is māyā's influence.
So we cannot engage our senses for Kṛṣṇa. This is the disturbing condition of material world. Senses are there, I am there, and how the senses should be utilized, the subject matter is also there, but it is misled. This is called māyā.
Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, jīvera svarūpa haya nitya kṛṣṇa dāsa [Cc Madhya 20.108]: we are eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa. So what is the business of the servant? The business of the servant is to carry out the order of the master. So the senses are...
I am the body—taking for the time being—and my senses—hands, legs, eyes, ears, tongue, genital, so many, ten senses—they are working senses and knowledge-gathering senses. There are so many senses. So if I am servant of Kṛṣṇa, then my senses should be always ready to serve Kṛṣṇa. This is real position.
