The senses are the villains, they instil the delusion that you are the Upadhi. Curb them as the bull is curbed by the nose-ring, the horse by the bit in the mouth, the elephant by the goad.
When the Pandavas were traversing the Himalayas towards the end of their careers, Dharmaraja was still affected by mental anxieties and so he prayed to Krishna to spend some time with them. On His departure from their dwelling, Krishna gave Dharmaraja a note, which he was to read to himself whenever he was affected by joy or grief.
The note read "Eppudoo undathu" (It will not last for ever). That is one method by which mental agitation can be calmed.
(Chinna Katha from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
