Lord Shiva wisdom from the Shiva's Spirituality page
Shiva's Spirituality
Vishayavasana – latencies connected with the objects of the senses.
When unrestrained, unguarded, and uncontrolled, the senses are our worst enemy and daily become the gateway or entrance through which desire, lust, ambition, fear, depression, ignorance, and other poisons enter our mind and soul, eventually resulting in suffering and sorrow for both ourselves and others. We must consciously take authoritative control over ourselves at the start of each day and do our best to maintain that spiritual self-mastery at all times. There are many things which we must not allow or permit ourselves to see or look at, to hear or listen to, to touch or feel, and so forth, if we wish to stand any chance of purifying, refining, elevating, and spiritualising our entire being. The senses must be mastered and the “worm of sense” must be starved out until it lies completely dormant and inert, no longer controlling but controlled by the man or woman who is treading the path to liberation (Moksha) through Self-realisation. You are not this (idam); you are That (Tat). Do not mistake the not-Self for the Self.
