Shloka 57
🌟 Sanskrit:
यः सर्वत्रानभिस्नेहस्तत्तत्प्राप्य शुभाशुभम् |
नाभिनन्दति न द्वेष्टि तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता || 2.57 ||
yaḥ sarvatrānabhisnehas tat tat prāpya śubhāśubham |
nābhinandati na dveṣṭi tasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā ||
🌟 Meaning:
One who is without attachment in all situations, who neither rejoices on obtaining good nor hates on obtaining evil, is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna further defines the state of a person with steady wisdom (prajñā pratiṣṭhitā). Such a person is anabhisnehaḥ, which means "without affection" or "without stickiness". They are not emotionally entangled with the events of the world. When they encounter something good (śubha), they don't celebrate excessively, and when they encounter something bad (aśubha), they don't fall into despair or hatred. Their inner peace is independent of external circumstances.
Shloka 58
🌟 Sanskrit:
यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वशः |
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता || 2.58 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
yadā saṁharate cāyaṁ kūrmo ’ṅgānīva sarvaśaḥ |
indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyas tasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā ||
🌟 Meaning:
One who is able to withdraw their senses from sense objects, as a tortoise draws its limbs into its shell, is firmly fixed in perfect consciousness.
🌟 Explanation:
This verse offers a brilliant and memorable analogy. Krishna compares the wise person's control over their senses to a tortoise. Just as a tortoise can completely withdraw its head and limbs into its shell at the first sign of danger, a person of steady wisdom can withdraw their senses from the temptations of the material world at will. This ability to control the senses (indriyāṇi) is a key sign of an enlightened and well-established consciousness.
Today’s Takeaway
Master your senses, master your mind. The world is constantly trying to pull your attention outward through your senses. True strength lies in the ability to consciously withdraw your focus from distractions and turn inward. Like a tortoise in its shell, find your inner sanctuary where the chaos of the world cannot touch you. This practice of sense control is the foundation of inner peace and mental clarity. 🧘♀️✨
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👏👐💓💕💗💖💚💛💞💝💫🙌🙇🙏
