The sanctification of the five senses is the way to Truth. If the
senses are polluted, of what avail are spiritual exercises? When the
water in a tank is polluted, all taps will give only polluted water.
Your heart is the tank. When the heart is polluted, the senses are
bound to be sullied. When the heart is filled with good thoughts and
feelings, all that comes out of the senses - your speech, your
vision, your actions - will be pure. The secret of spiritual wisdom
is not to be got from scholars or by study. Spiritual understanding
can only come from mastery of the senses.
