自我控制的真正涵義
自我的控制是這個宇宙的定律‧
這定律適用於任何的地方和時間,所有的人不論是男人或女人,這是至福的關鍵‧
沉溺於物欲的對象中則將導致個人對真理辨識力的失敗,將非真理當成真理混淆。
渴求任何的外在快樂事物,則是對上帝真理無知的結果。自我控制是心緒和感覺的外向傾向的約束,這是宇宙的定律。
自私及利己主義導致自我的禁錮,痛苦和失敗的人生。

The true Import of Self-control
Self-control is a universal rule, which
applies to all men and all women at all places and at all times. It is the very
key to beatitude. Indulgence in objects is the effect of the failure of the
individual to discriminate the Truth from untruth. Desire to have contact with
and enjoy external things is the outcome of the ignorance of the truth which is
God. Self-control is the restraint of the outgoing tendencies of the mind and
the senses and the centering of the same in the Truth which is the Universal
One. This is Dharma which supports the life of the universe. Adharma is
selfishness and egoism of nature which leads to self-imprisonment, suffering
and failure in life.
