In Verses 24 and 25, Krishna gives the mechanical 'How-To' for executing the determination required in Verse 23. He begins: You must completely abandon and throw away (tyaktvā) all material desires (kāmāṃs) that are born from mental plotting, imagination, and speculation (saṅkalpa-prabhavān). This abandonment must be absolute, leaving zero exceptions or residue (sarvān aśeṣataḥ). Having done this, you must use the mind itself (manasaiva) to completely regulate and lock down the entire network/village of the senses (indriya-grāmaṃ viniyamya) from every possible side and direction (samantataḥ).
