Whatever work we have done on ourselves, we have the moral right —(that's not the phrase, but something like that) to suggest it to others; otherwise, we're hypocritical. You find also that if you are sense controlled, other living entities notice it, because it's so rare. People notice it in the way you walk, in the way you talk to them, and especially the way you react to them, because people are used to an algorithm that's there in the material world, and it's based on the combination of the modes of material nature. If there is something agitating, most people show agitation. And if you don't show agitation, people are startled, because they notice that you aren't following the algorithm. They want to know, "What's with you?" I hear it from devotees all the time who go to work as engineers or puppeteers or whatever they do, and then they look like everybody else, but people start asking them, "Hey, wait a minute, what's your thing? You're different from everybody else, besides the fact that you bring your own lunch and you don't eat with us." People do notice that. So the system is vāco vegam. That's where Rūpa Gosvāmī starts: start with yourself, and then apratīvīṁ nāśiṣyat—everybody else becomes your student. Because the masters of the world are the senses; if you've mastered the senses, watch out, because you've got nothing to lose and all to gain, and nobody can stop you, because that's the only thing that stops everybody.
