TRANSLATION

The true activity of the sense organs —mind, sight, words and all
the knowledge-gathering and working senses—is to engage fully
in My service. Unless his senses are thus engaged, a living entity
cannot think of getting out of the great entanglement of material
existence, which is exactly like Yamaraja’s stringent rope.
