How to control my senses from not entering into wrong path?

[Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi! Most of us do not follow all traffic signals and traffic rules, although traffic signs and signals are seen everywhere on the streets. Likewise, we clearly know the right path in life, but still, we do not feel motivated to travel on that path. How can I control my senses and prevent them from turning to the wrong path? What is the cause of the internal resistance to follow the right path? How can I overcome it? -At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Bhanu Samykya]

Swāmi replied: This is a million-dollar question since it pertains to the age-old problem of the entire humanity, especially in pravṛtti or worldly life. If you do not follow traffic rules, you will certainly get into an accident, one day or another. Similarly, if you commit sins, the punishments for the sins are also inevitable. The divine constitution is the ultimate authority because God is its author. Trying constantly will certainly bring success in achieving the goal (Abhyāsena tu kaunteya...—Gītā). You should give up all worries when you are putting forth your effort because success comes only after your effort ends and not during the effort.
