In order to sanctify your senses, you should utilize them in the service of others. Yad bhavam tad bhavathi (as you think so you become). If you have bad vision, listen to bad talk, or indulge in bad activities, you will ultimately ruin yourself.

If you cannot undertake any service activity, at least speak softly andsweetly. You cannot always oblige, but you can speak always obligingly. Today, man speaks harsh words, which hurt the feelings of others. He puts his senses to misuse, how can he expect to be happy and healthy?

In order to enjoy perfect health, make sacred use of your senses. You may bea pauper or a millionaire. You may have money or not, but God has given eachone of you five senses. Make proper use of them and sanctify your lives.
