*Glimpses of Self-Realization*- The control of sense organs is an essential pre-requisite before embarking upon Self-Realization and Sahaja Samadhi.

Friends!
Our identification with thoughts, arising from our minds, is the root cause of all ills in our lives. The five sense organs with their objects, play havoc with our day to day existence, since we are under the siege of  latent impressions inherited by us. The pleasure seeking Indulgence in, even a single sense organ, results in self annihilation of various animals like , the Deer, the Elephant, the Fly, the Fish and the Beetle . The SKIN, the sense organ of touch, leads an elephant to destruction, by running behind a female elephant. The deer when attracted by sounds, the EARS lead it towards danger. When flies are attracted towards fire, and get destroyed by it, the EYES are their problem. The fish is destroyed by it`s craving for food , through taste in TONGUE. Hankering after smell results in, the destruction of a beetle through NOSE.
If pleasure seeking indulgence in, even a single sense organ, can play havoc with the lives of these animals , what about us , having five sense organs, craving for their sense objects? Unless We have absolute control over them, our plight will be miserable, resulting in self annihilation.
Therefore the control of sense organs is an essential pre-requisite before embarking upon Self-Realization and Sahaja Samadhi.
