All sorrows are destroyed upon attainment of
tranquility. The intellect of such a tranquil person soon becomes completely steady. (2.65)
There is neither Self-knowledge nor Self-perception to
those whose senses are not under control. Without Self-perception there is no peace; and without peace there
can be no happiness. (2.66)
The mind, when controlled by the roving senses, steals
away the Prajna as a storm takes away a boat on the sea from its destination, the spiritual shore. (2.67)
Therefore, O Arjuna, one's Prajna becomes steady whose
senses are completely withdrawn from the sense objects. (2.68) |
