Means of Purifying the Inner Senses


Question:  Can one server relationship with the inner senses without purifying them? 
Swamiji -  In reality there is no relationship at all, but we have assumed it to be so.  By no accepting what we have assumed as a relation, that relation will be wiped out.  What has all this got to do with purity and impurity! 
Question -  Without the purification of the inner-senses, can one accept this? 
Swamiji -  Absolutely it can happen.   You must have the sentiments within that you want to attain liberation, you want enlightenment.  Let my inner-senses be purified,  let the relationship with it be severed -  this is the sort of thing that will as such make the relationship even more strongly bonded.  If you want to wipe it out, then before you wipe it out, you want to acknowledge it's existence.  If you do not acknowledge its existence, then what would you wipe out?  It is an assumption, that there is a relation – it is then only that you try to wipe it out.  But I am saying that there is no relation at all!   This is the main difference.  Just has it comes in Vedanta and holy books that "adhyaaropaapavaadaabhyaam nishprapancham prapachyate"  Wrong attribution and censure, with these two, the non-illusory, becomes illusory in other words, the Supreme Reality becomes a matter of deliberation.  Then I say that if you want to censure then why to do wrong attribution in the first place. 
Questioner -  The question that arises in my mind is that without the purification of the inner-senses one cannot firmly accept. 
Swamiji – I am saying that yes!  you can.  By hanging on to your inner senses if you try then it will not happen.  See!  The Sankaadis went to Brahmaji and asked him, that the mind is trapped in the sense objects, and the objects are situated in the mind, then how to separate the mind from the objects?  Then the answer that was given was server relations with both of them (mind and the sense objects) -  "Madroop ubhayam tyajet (Srimad Bhagwat  11/13/26)  This is the same thing I am say.  Why don't to take hold of this practice?  This is from the scriptures, not my own creation.  The only part that is my own is that you must grab hold of this point firmly, not any other point.  Superimpose it, keep it, then distance it; why do you want to get yourself into troubles and get trapped?  It is not in us at all.  A spiritual aspirant attains perfection quickly by this.  Therefore respect this point.   This line is not mine and nor is there any contract with anyone on this.  This is a point that applies generally to all. 
Questioner -  Maharaj !  Wherever there is quest to know,  where our belief lies, there itself interest in sense enjoyment sprouts. 
Swamiji -  Interest in sense enjoyments, desire for pleasures – this itself is most lethal.  You do not leave it, because of which the talks of severing relationship with it appears to be difficult, or else this is very easy.
Question -  This desire for sense enjoyments is the main illness Maharajji
Swamiji -  If it is the main illness, then distance yourself from it.  In fact if you come to understand that  it is an illness, then the illness will go away by itself.  The eye make-up applied to the eye, cannot be seen by the eye.  That eye make-up is seen when the make-up is away from the eye, such as when it is applied to the finger.  (to be continued)
