Swami SivanandaEnglish

3.6 He who, restraining the organs of action, sits thinking of the sense-objects in mind, he of deluded understanding is called a hypocrite.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

One who restrains the senses of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.
