<div class="devanagari">
:यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन ।
:कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्मयोगमसक्तः स विशिष्यते ॥७॥
</div>

<div class="verse">
:yas tv indriyāṇi manasā
:niyamyārabhate 'rjuna
:karmendriyaiḥ karma-yogam
:asaktaḥ sa viśiṣyate
</div>

==== SYNONYMS ====

<div class="synonyms">
''yaḥ''—one who; ''tu''—but; ''indriyāṇi''—senses; ''manasā''—by the mind; ''niyamya''—regulating; ''ārabhate''—begins; ''arjuna''—O Arjuna; ''karma-indriyaiḥ''—by the active sense organs; ''karma-yogam''—devotion; ''asaktaḥ''—without attachment; ''saḥ''—he; ''viśiṣyate''—by far the better.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
On the other hand, he who controls the senses by the mind and engages his active organs in works of devotion, without attachment, is by far superior.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Instead of becoming a pseudo-transcendentalist for the sake of wanton living and sense enjoyment, it is far better to remain in one's own business and execute the purpose of life, which is to get free from material bondage and enter into the kingdom of God. The prime ''svārtha-gati'', or goal of self-interest, is to reach Viṣṇu. The whole institution of ''varṇa'' and ''āśrama'' is designed to help us reach this goal of life. A householder can also reach this destination by regulated service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. For self-realization, one can live a controlled life, as prescribed in the ''śāstras'', and continue carrying out his business without attachment, and in that way make progress. Such a sincere person who follows this method is far better situated than the false pretender who adopts show-bottle spiritualism to cheat the innocent public. A sincere sweeper in the street is far better than the charlatan meditator who meditates only for the sake of making a living.
