The aspirant who is seeking the Lord must free himself from selfish attachments to
people, money, and possessions. When his mind sheds every selfish desire,
he becomes free from the duality of pleasure and pain and rules his senses.
No more is he capable of ill will; no more is he subject to elation,
for his senses come to rest in the Self.
(Paramahamsa Up. 4, p. 246)
