The Wisdom of a yogi, who controls his senses, is well poised.
If persons continue to restrain their senses, it is difficult to bring them under control by any means. If they restrain the mind by yogic practice, fencing it with religious observances, they have to suffer agony; such is the might of the senses. Just as a female spirit casts a spell on an exorcist, so these sense-objects come in the guise of supernatural powers, and sway a person's mind through contact with the senses. If his mind is caught in their snare he stops yogic practice; such is the power of the senses. Holding them all in check, the yogi should remain fixed in yoga. For when his senses are under control, his wisdom is well poised.
- Lord Krishna spoke these words to Ajuna in the Kurushethra Battlefield.

I do not think the wise are always that assured, but as good men they wonder about the right thing to do.
