सूक्तिमुक्तावली - इन्द्रिय निग्रह

तप्ते सर्पिषि पूरिका क्षिप्ताह्यामा करोति बहुशब्दान्
    पक्वा यथा यथा सोनयति हि शब्दं ततस्तूष्णीम् ।
तद्वत्पुंसो ज्ञानं यावत्स्वल्पं करोति बहुवादान्
    पूर्णज्ञानप्राप्तौ शान्तो विजितेन्द्रियस्तथा भवति ॥

When poori (a snack) is dropped into hot ghee, it makes a lot of noise. But when it bakes properly, it stops making noise and rises up. Just like that a person with half-knowledge will make a lot of noise and arguments. One he gets full knowledge he will have more control over his senses and hence will find peace within himself.
