Svādhyāya: Do You Know You?
If you do not want your desires to rule you, then you must keep watch and stay vigilant. You must stand guard over your impulses, your mind, and your desires. There are many desires that come along that will only trip you up if you aren’t careful. When we stay focused on watching our mind and can see the “sin” (misguided desires) creeping in, we can ready ourselves to stand firm so that we aren’t derailed.
