Only when the senses are disciplined and the attraction to worldly pleasures is neutralized through wisdom does the intellect become truly steady and anchored in the Self.

🎯 Practical Application

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the necessity of sense control and skillful detachment to achieve a steady intellect.
