Bhagavad Gita 3.6 — Outer control, inner craving

कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन्। इन्द्रियार्थान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचारः स उच्यते ॥

karmendriyāṇi saṃyamya ya āste manasā smaran | indriyārthānvimūḍhātmā mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate ||

Meaning

One who holds back the organs of action but keeps dwelling on sense objects in the mind is fooling himself and is called a hypocrite.
