The desires that cling to the mind are the blemishes that tarnish
man's inner consciousness. Control the senses, do not yield to their
insistent demands for satisfaction. When a corpse is placed on a
pyre, and when the pyre is lit, both the corpse and the pyre are
reduced to ashes. So too, when the senses are negated, the mind too
disappears. When the mind disappears, delusion dies and liberation is
achieved.
