Chapter 2 · Verse 53
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You need to anchor your mind in unwavering stillness, untouched by conflicting opinions and worldly paths. When your intellect remains steady and focused on the Divine, you will rise above doubt. This deep concentration leads you directly to jnana, the sacred self-knowledge of your true identity, allowing you to experience ultimate spiritual realization and deep, lasting peace.
Translation
2.53 When your intellect, well enlightened by hearing from Me and firmly placed, stands unshaken in a concentrated mind, then you will attain the vision of the self.
Meaning
When your intellect which is tossed about by the conflict of opinions regarding the Pravritti Marga (the path of action) and the Nivritti Marga (the path of retirement or renunciation) has become immovable without distraction and doubt and firmly established in the Self then thou shalt attain Selfrealisation or knowledge of the Self (AtmaJnana).
Word by word
श्रुतिविप्रतिपन्ना perplexed by what hast heard ते thy यदा when स्थास्यति shall stand निश्चला immovable समाधौ in the Self अचला steady बुद्धिः intellect तदा then योगम् Selfrealisation अवाप्स्यसि (thou) shalt attain.
