Meaning
The whole practical instruction in a sentence. Bhūti is well-being, and another commentary reads it as liberation itself. Conquest of the senses does not mean starving them. It means that the five no longer run the household. Note "here" (atra): this life, this place. The fruit promised is not held over for a later existence.
