Bhagavad Gita 2.64: Ragadveshaviyuktaistu

But, Krishna says, a self-controlled person can move among sense objects with senses that are free from liking and disliking and under control.

Bhagavad Gita 2.64

रा­ग­द्वे­ष­वि­यु­क्तै­स्तु वि­ष­या­नि­न्द्रि­यै­श्च­र­न् ।आत्म­व­श्यै­र्वि­धे­या­त्मा प्र­सा­द­म­धि­ग­च्छ­ति ॥

Ra­gad­ve­sha­vi­yuk­tais­tu vi­sha­ya­nind­ri­yaish­cha­ran
At­ma­vash­yair­vi­dhe­yat­ma pra­sa­da­ma­dhi­gachchha­ti

rā­gad­ve­ṣa­vi­yuk­tais­tu vi­ṣa­yā­nind­ri­yaiś­ca­ran |
āt­ma­vaś­yair­vi­dhe­yāt­mā pra­sā­da­ma­dhi­gac­cha­ti ||

Our meaning But, Krishna says, a self-controlled person can move among sense objects with senses that are free from liking and disliking and under control. Such a person, he says, reaches inner calm (prasāda).

हिंदी अर्थ इसके विपरीत, कृष्ण कहते हैं कि जो संयमी व्यक्ति राग और द्वेष से रहित, अपने वश में रहने वाली इंद्रियों के साथ विषयों के बीच विचरता है, वह प्रसाद (मन की निर्मल शांति) पाता है।
