By controlling the senses the ignorance will not vanish.+

Some Gurus say the Self is not the body but they speak of five senses which belong to the body. The body belongs to you because you are bound by birth, life, and death whereas the Soul is birthless and deathless, because, the Soul, is a formless, timeless spaceless existence.

You, your body, and the world in which you exist are created out of single clay and that clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Self is not 'you' means- the ‘Self’ is not the body. If the self is not the body then what is the use of controlling the sense organs?

 The five senses (body) are nothing to do with the Soul, the  ‘Self’ because the Soul the  Self is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Remember:~

You exist within the universe. The universe is the product of ignorance. From this standpoint, the Soul the innermost Self the universe in which the body (you) exist is merely an illusion.

The dream universe and the five sense (dream body) becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking experience in which you and the waking world exist becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns when the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of the waking state, which is the dualistic illusion. 

It is necessary to realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul has no organs because the Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Some gurus propagate by control of the senses leads to Self-realization. By controlling the senses ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, the world in which you exist prevails as reality.

The universe is the product of ignorance. The five senses (body) are nothing to do with the Soul the innermost Self, because the Soul the Self is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

From th standpoint of  the Soul the Self, the universe in which the body (you) exist is merely an illusion.

The Soul, the ‘Self’’ is not visible to the physical eyes. The Soul, the ‘Self’ is not to be found in the world as a thing or as an entity or an object. The Soul, the ‘Self ' is above these, and has neither beginning nor ending because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

The Self is not 'you' means the ‘Self’ is not the body.  If the self is not the body then what is the use of controlling the sense organs?

It is necessary to realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  The Soul has no organs because the Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Deliberate exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real renunciation. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
