TRANSLATION
The true activity of the sense organsmind, sight, words and all the knowledge-gathering and working sensesis 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 Yamarajas stringent rope.
PURPORT
As stated in the Narada-pancaratra:
This is the conclusion of bhakti. All the time, Lord Rsabhadeva has been stressing devotional service, and now He is concluding by saying that all the senses should be engaged in the Lords service. There are five senses by which we gather knowledge and five senses with which we work. These ten senses and the mind should be fully engaged in the Lords service. Without engaging them in this way, one cannot get out of the clutches of maya.
