Gita Chapter Two Select Verses 07

31. When the sesnses are under complete control, the intellect can remain steadt.
Verse 2.68 The intellect is stable in a body in which senses are completely restrained from the sense-objects.
tasmaadyasya mahaabaaho nogrheetaani sarvasah
indriyaaneendriyaarthebhyastasya prajnaa pratisthitaa

yaa nishaa sarvabhootaanaam tasyaam jaagarti samyami
yasyaam jaagrati bhootani saa nishaa pashyato muneh


32. The disciplined, elightened Yogi is awake in God and sleeps away from worldly pleasuers when the the other beings are asleep in ignorance, busy enjoying worldly pleasures.
Verse 2.69 During the nights of all other beings, the disciplined Yogi is awake. And, whatever all beings seek when awake, the enlightened seer shuns as darkness of the night.
yaa nishaa sarvabhootaanaam tasyaam jaagarti samyami
yasyaam jaagrati bhootani saa nishaa pashyato muneh


33. Worldly pleasures flow into a wise Yogi in blissful happiness but are unable to affect the stability of his intellect, just as water of different rivers flow in the OIcean brimming with water without affecting its calmness and character.
Verse 2.70 Waters of different rivers flow into the water-full ocean and yet the ocean remains undisturbed. Similarly, all enjoyments and pleasure of worldly material existence flow into the wise seer in bliss without affecting the stability of his intellect.
aapooryamaanamachalapratistham
samudramaapah pravishanti yadvat
tadvatkaamaa yam pravishanti sarve
sa shaantimaapnoti na kaamakaami


34. Only the completely desire-free, possiveness-free, ego-free and necessity-free person attains tranquility.
Verse 2.71 Tranquility comes to the wise who is completely bereft of desire of any kind, does no longer feel the need for any possession whatsoever, performs actions without any sense of being the performer, and has no necessity to be cared for survival.
vihaaya kamaanyah sarvaanpumaanshcharati nihsprhah
nirmamo nirahankaarah sa shaantimadhigacchati


35. In the state of Godhood, God-realized soul) free of desire, free of thought on necessities of life, free of the sense of possiveness of anything or anybody, and free of ego, there is complete loss of individuality and affinity to anything or any being or any thought. This results in complete loss of any question to be answered as there are no more dilemmas or doubts or confusion. This state of complete merging in God, the absolte and ultimate source of all, may be reached even at the time of death for attainment of eternal bliss for ever.
Verse 2.72 Such is the state of a God-realized soul as described just now (in theimmediately preceeding verses). A soul in this state overcomes all delusion. If a soul reaches this state even at the hour of death, the soul attains eternal bliss of union with God for ever.
esa brahmi sthitih partha nainarh prapya vimuhyati
sthitvasyamantakale'pi brahmanirvanamrcchati
