Material life & control senses

As witnessed in every religion Including the great Bhagvad Gita common sermon is to live this material life controlling senses. As has been said in Gita senses are controlling body,mind or mental state is con rolling senses, intelligent quotient is controlling over mind or mental state & ultimately soul is dominating over intelligent quotient. every spiritual leader is preaching to live life controlling self & senses.
From bookish point of view it seems ok. But in practical life to live this corporeal life with abstinence or control in this material world is very very difficult. especially maintianing balance amongst self respect, dignity, human bondage, selfish motive, immotions, sentiments,love & affection.
One may be preapred to sacrifice personal motive, selfish goal but it is not easy to for go dignity or self respect & to live life noraml. If any body does so it is take for granted as ones impotency to resist. Like wise one mmay control over sentiment but not over safety or security. Because health is wealth.
It has been said that if one is unhappy life laugh at one, if one is happy lifesmiles at one but if one is makint others happy life salute at one.
Simultaneously it is also reality that if every time one is going to make other happy how one will make himself happy & when this question may be raised. After all everything has a limaitation like pationce has also.
The comman answer may be if one is saluting it's duty one need not salute any body, but if one pollute it's duty one has to salute everybody. Her the concept of duty is never limited to official or work duty. In broad spectrum duty includes once moral, family, social, national,human responsibilities too. Summing up constitutional responsibilities as a citizen aslo form part of it. & if everybody just honour it automaticaly majority of senses may be controlled.
Also one has to bear in mind that when we are no longer to change the situation we are challenged to challeng ourselves. To fulfill this goal of absinence one must have detrmination, commitment. that's why it has been said that what we see in sleep is not dream but the dream is that which does not allow one to sleep. That can happen l=only strong willpower & firm detrmination is there.
Let us do it.
