Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda identifies the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa as Hṛṣīkeśa, the ultimate controller of the senses. While the living entity has a set of senses, the mind, and intelligence, they function only because of the Lord's sanction. This category explores the hierarchy of control, the qualification of a spiritual teacher, and the practical method of mastering the senses through devotional service.
- The Supreme Hṛṣīkeśa: The Lord is the original owner and controller of the senses. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that just as a king controls the state and citizens are secondary controllers, Kṛṣṇa controls the body, mind, and senses of all living beings.
- Definition of a Gosvāmī: The title gosvāmī or svāmī is not hereditary; it refers to one who is master of the senses (jitendriya). Only a person who can control the mind and senses is qualified to be a guru and accept disciples from all over the world.
- Control Through Service: Artificial repression is difficult. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that by engaging the senses in the service of Kṛṣṇa, one automatically becomes a controller of the senses. A devotee effectively uses the senses for their true purpose—serving the master of the senses.
- Brahminical Training: A civilized society requires a class of men (brāhmaṇas) trained in truthfulness and sense control. Without this educational foundation, creating a "first-class brain" for society is impossible.
