Commentary (टीका)
The verse emphasizes the importance of controlling the senses to overcome desires that lead to sinful acts. Swami Sivananda mentions that uncontrolled desires obstruct the path to true knowledge (*jñāna*) and experiential wisdom (*vijñāna*). Desire, akin to a pervasive sinfulness, destroys these higher pursuits unless one restrains the senses at their root. Swami Ramsukhdas in Hindi commentary also highlights the necessity of restraining from desires to protect one's judgment and realization. It mentions that attachment or aversion towards objects strengthens further desire, causing downfall. Knowledge critically examined is indirect (*Paroksha Jnana*) while wisdom is experiential or direct (*Aparoksha Jnana*). Therefore, control of desire is crucial to maintain insights into essential truth through self-realization.
