| Those who are not attached to anything, who are
neither elated by getting desired results nor troubled by undesired results, their Prajna is deemed steady. (2.57)
When one can completely withdraw (or restrain) the
senses from the sense objects as a tortoise withdraws its limbs (into the shell), then the Prajna of such a person
is considered steady. (2.58)
The desire for sensual pleasures fades away if one
abstains from sense enjoyment, but the craving (for sense enjoyment) remains. The craving also disappears from
the one who has seen (or known) the Supreme. (2.59)
Restless senses, O Arjuna, forcibly carry away the mind
of even a wise person striving for perfection.(2.60) |
