Chapter 2 · Verse 64
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You should move through the world with complete serenity, engaging with life without attachment or aversion. By performing your daily karma, or selfless action, with controlled senses, you remain free from likes and dislikes. This self-mastery allows you to navigate the illusions of maya while remaining deeply anchored in your true spiritual nature, experiencing profound peace and mental clarity.
Translation
2.64 But he who goes through the sense-objects with the senses free from love and hate, disciplined and controlled, attains serenity.
Meaning
The mind and the senses are naturally endowed with the two currents of attraction and repulsion. Therefore the mind and the senses like certain objects and dislike certain other objects. But the disciplined man moves among senseobjects with the mind and the senses free from attraction and repulsion and mastered by the Self attains to the peace of the Eternal. The senses and the mind obey his will as the disciplined self has a very strong will. The disciplined self takes only those objects which are ite necessary for the maintenance of the body without any love or hatred. He never takes those objects which are forbidden by the scriptures. In this verse Lord Krishna gives the answer to Arjunas fourth estion. How does a sage of steady wisdom move about (Cf. III.7.19 25XVIII.9).
