eṣhā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṁ prāpya vimuhyati
sthitvāsyām anta-kāle ’pi brahma-nirvāṇam ṛichchhati|| 72||
My Understanding : When a person realizes the true nature of the soul, they will no longer be attached to the materialistic world.
eṣhā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṁ prāpya vimuhyati
sthitvāsyām anta-kāle ’pi brahma-nirvāṇam ṛichchhati|| 72||
My Understanding : When a person realizes the true nature of the soul, they will no longer be attached to the materialistic world.
vihāya kāmān yaḥ sarvān pumānśh charati niḥspṛihaḥ
nirmamo nirahankāraḥ sa śhāntim adhigachchhati|| 71||
My Understanding : You must let go of your ego and detach yourself from the material world in order to transcend emotions. To be free from emotional turbulence, you should avoid making decisions based on emotions.
āpūryamāṇam achala-pratiṣhṭhaṁ
samudram āpaḥ praviśhanti yadvat
tadvat kāmā yaṁ praviśhanti sarve
sa śhāntim āpnoti na kāma-kāmī || 70||
My Understanding : To the self-realized mind, there are no visible distinctions. Envy and hatred, when present, are seen as part of the same illusion.
yā niśhā sarva-bhūtānāṁ tasyāṁ jāgarti sanyamī
yasyāṁ jāgrati bhūtāni sā niśhā paśhyato muneḥ|| 69||
My Understanding : The world is shaped by how you perceive it. Everything depends on what you see and how you see it.
tasmād yasya mahā-bāho nigṛihītāni sarvaśhaḥ
indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyas tasya prajñā pratiṣhṭhitā|| 68||
My Understanding : It is only possible to control the mind through the senses, but it is never possible to control the senses directly.
indriyāṇāṁ hi charatāṁ yan mano ’nuvidhīyate
tadasya harati prajñāṁ vāyur nāvam ivāmbhasi|| 67||
My Understanding : Without practice, you cannot control your senses. These senses are influenced by the environment, and emotions like envy and hatred arise from them. As a result, your happiness fluctuates based on these external factors. However, when you learn to control your senses, you will discover peace and happiness in everything, regardless of circumstances.
nāsti buddhir-ayuktasya na chāyuktasya bhāvanā
na chābhāvayataḥ śhāntir aśhāntasya kutaḥ sukham|| 66||
My Understanding : Peace is the state where your emotions are not swayed by good or bad circumstances. When you are free from such feelings, you remain unchanged regardless of the situation. Without peace, true happiness cannot be found in anything. All emotions are controlled by the senses, and if you can master control over them, you will find peace in everything.
prasāde sarva-duḥkhānāṁ hānir asyopajāyate
prasanna-chetaso hyāśhu buddhiḥ paryavatiṣhṭhate|| 65||
My Understanding : If you surrender to God and accept all results with faith, you will find peace in everything. This surrender will free you from any envy or hatred towards others, allowing you to embrace life with a calm and compassionate heart.
rāga-dveṣha-viyuktais tu viṣhayān indriyaiśh charan
ātma-vaśhyair-vidheyātmā prasādam adhigachchhati|| 64||
My Understanding : Our feelings are influenced by the things we experience and the results we get. When something good happens, it uplifts us; when something sad occurs, it depresses us. However, if we detach ourselves from the outcomes and accept everything as it comes, without becoming attached to the results, we can maintain inner peace and balance.
krodhād bhavati sammohaḥ sammohāt smṛiti-vibhramaḥ
smṛiti-bhranśhād buddhi-nāśho buddhi-nāśhāt praṇaśhyati|| 63||
My Understanding : A human being is divided into three parts: 1. The body, 2. The conscience, and 3. The self (or “me”). These parts are made up of seven elements. Through these elements, we form attachments and aversions. A wise person is one who controls their mind and remains balanced in the face of both happiness and sadness. When the senses and the body naturally align with the mind, this individual demonstrates wisdom.
