An
intelligent person should not pamper his senses.
Can
one play with snakes? Can one get saved when living in company of
tiger? Tell me, can one digest the haalahal poison (most severe
poison)?
If
one starts playing with fire after some time it become uncontrollable
and starts to spread. Similar is the case with senses hence we should
not pamper senses.
By
the way, dear Arjun, why should we work to get the pleasures for
these senses?
We
work so hard to earn money and other opulences, should spend it only
on this body which is temporary?
We
give everything, work so hard to earn the opulences, instead of using
it to fulfill our duties should we use to strengthen/pamper this body
only?
Then
this body which is made of five elements, will die and will be
converted back into the original five elements. And when this will
happen, we'll not get back all the hard work we've put in to please
this body.
Thus
if you are only caressing (pampering, working for) body then it will
be utter stupidity, hence you should not put your mind in it.
