He who controlling the organs of action, lets his mind dwell on the objects of senses, is a deluded person and a hypocrite.
He whose inner and outer organs of senses are not conquered because of his sins not being annulled; who is none the less struggling for winning knowledge of the self; whose mind is forced to turn away from the self because of it attachment to the sense objects and who consequently lets his mind dwell on them - such a man is called a hypocrite, because his actions are at variation with his professions. The meaning is that by practising the knowledge of the self in this way, he becomes perverted and lost.
