Impulses and desires have to be sublimated in order to achieve mastery over the mind...

He who has subdued the mind will
be the same in good times and bad.
Grief and joy are but alterations of the mind.
It is only when the mind is associated
with the senses and the body that it is affected.

Impulses and desires have to be
sublimated in order to achieve mastery over the mind.
Desire excite the mind and make it rush towards the senses.
It is not enough if only one sense is conquered,
all of them should be mastered completely.
