Forcible Restraint of Senses

The issue can be understood directly.

Thought (essentially through verbalization) and instinct (actual arising in the body and brain) are always in fighting mode.

Thought wants to win the fight by control or indulgence.

Understanding dawns when this attempt is spontaneously aborted. There arises a fused compromise between thought and instinct.

Can one see that thought is making all efforts to win the fight by leaning on any side?

Instinct left to itself is not congnisable.

Thought is a perpetuation device to let the life go on and on by introducing the element of fear (not being).

Thus instinct is automatically restricted, reined.

Thought and instinct play the game.
