Control of the mind and the senses.  The body is the chariot and the Self is its master; intellect is the charioteer and the mind is the reins; the senses are the horses and sense-objects their paths.  He, who has no understanding and whose mind is unrestrained, has his senses unmanageable like the vicious horses of a Charioteer, does not reach his destination (get realization), but goes through the round of births and deaths; but he, who has understanding and whose mind is restrained, has his senses being under control.  like the good horse of a charioteer, reaches that place i.e., the state of self-realization, whence he is not born again.  The man, who has understanding as his charioteer (guide) and is able to rein his mind reaches the end of the journey, which is the supreme abode of the all-pervading, Vishnu (Lord).

Prefering Shreyas, (the Good) to Preyas (the Pleasant).  There are two sorts of things viz., the Good and the Pleasant; the former deals with spiritual affairs, and the latter with mundane matters.  Both these approach man for acceptance.  He has to think and choose one of them.  The wise man prefers the Good to the Pleasant; but the unwise through greed and attachment, choose the Pleasant.

Catharsis from (Purging away of) sins.  Unless a man has turned away from wickedness, and stopped from doing wrong, and has entirely composed himself, and unless his mind is at rest, he cannot gain self-realization, even by means of knowledge.

Antarmukhata (introversion).  Our senses have been created by God with a tendency to move outward and so, man always looks outside himself and not inside:  He who wants self-realization and immortal life, must turn his gaze inwards, and look to his inner self.

Virakti or a feeling of disgust with the things of this world and the next.  Unless a man feels disgusted with things, emoluments and honours, which his actions would bring in this world and the next, he has no right to enter into the spiritual realm.

Mumuksha or intense desire to get free.  He, who thinks that he is bound and that he should get free from bondage and works earnestly and resolutely to that end; and who does not care for any other thing, is qualified for the spiritual life.
