Control gives power; regulation gives greater strength; discipline reveals Divinity. People pine for happiness. But, can one gain it by allowing a free rein to senses? Can one be happy eating four meals a day, or riding prestigious cars or living in many-roomed bungalows? No. Happiness is in helping others. It is brought about by giving up, not by hoarding. Catering to senses makes man bestial, and will drag him into dirt and disgrace. Yogi is the person who has fixed his mind on the Divine, not on the mundane. Gita exhorts man to transform himself as "Satatam Yoginah - be ever a yogi." But man is Yogi in the morning, turning into bhogi (sensuous man) at noon and a rogi (disease-struck person) when day ends! Man lives today without faith and without ideals. Dharma (righteous living) should be the base and Moksha (liberation), the superstructure; but the world has neglected both and it relies on artha (wealth), and kama (desire) for happiness and liberation!
