Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
55. The Resplendent Lord said: When a man discards all the desires of his mind, O Arjuna, when his Self is content in his own Self, then he is called one well established in wisdom.
Bhashya :- Before showing the responses of the wise ones, who "do not appear (sometimes) different from the insane ones”, the attributes of the wise are explained in this verse. How is the one who is satisfied with Supreme happiness performs his actions was the query. The Wise One, who realizes Brahman with the grace of the Lord, responds sooner due to his attachments during earlier periods, thus does he respond even to a smaller extent. In essence, he discards all desires, after the vision of the Lord, even in the case of Shuka and others. 'The Wise Ones, the knowers of That Truth desire communion with your feet', saying thus they seek You, the Lord. In the case of Indra and others, undesirable desires do not arise, therefore their knowledge is supernal. It is therefore declared, The qualified person, verily, is because of the performance of great actions and because of such attained qualities, they become distinctive than others. Therefore, even if they become distinguished since they are unqualified due to their distinct attributes, they cannot be called the Wise Ones, thus one should understood.
