Shloka 68
🌟 Sanskrit:
तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः |
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता || 2.68 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
tasmād yasya mahā-bāho nigṛhītāni sarvaśaḥ |
indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyas tasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā ||
🌟 Meaning:
Therefore, O mighty-armed, one whose senses are completely restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna concludes the section on sense control with a definitive statement. He declares that a person whose intelligence is truly steady (prajñā pratiṣṭhitā) is one who has achieved complete mastery over their senses, restraining them from their objects. This is the mark of a realized soul.
Shloka 69
🌟 Sanskrit:
या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी |
यस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः || 2.69 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
yā niśā sarva-bhūtānāṁ tasyāṁ jāgarti saṁyamī |
yasyāṁ jāgrati bhūtāni sā niśā paśyato muneḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
What is night for all beings is the time of awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for all beings is night for the introspective sage.
🌟 Explanation:
This profound verse describes the completely different reality perceived by a wise person. The spiritual reality that is "night" (darkness and ignorance) for ordinary beings is "day" (clarity and awakening) for the self-controlled sage (saṁyamī). Conversely, the material world of sense gratification that ordinary people are "awake" to is "night" (irrelevant and uninteresting) for the introspective sage (muneḥ). Their entire perception of reality is inverted.
Shloka 70
🌟 Sanskrit:
आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् |
तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी || 2.70 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
āpūryamāṇam acala-pratiṣṭhaṁ samudram āpaḥ praviśanti yadvat |
tadvat kāmā yaṁ praviśanti sarve sa śāntim āpnoti na kāma-kāmī ||
🌟 Meaning:
A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still—can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna presents a magnificent metaphor. The mind of an enlightened person is like a vast, deep ocean. Just as countless rivers flow into the ocean without causing it to overflow or become disturbed, innumerable desires (kāmāḥ) may enter the mind of the sage, but they do not disrupt his profound inner stillness. He attains peace (śāntim). In stark contrast, the person who actively chases desires (kāma-kāmī) is like a small puddle, easily disturbed and never at peace.
Today’s Takeaway
Be the ocean, not the river chaser. Don't spend your life running after every desire that enters your mind. Instead, cultivate such a deep and vast inner peace that the desires of the world can flow into you without disturbing your calm. True peace is not found in fulfilling desires, but in becoming so full within that they no longer have power over you. 🌊🧘♂️
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👏👐💓💕💛💞💫🙌🙇🙏
