Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
59. The senses turn back, when the body abstains feeding them. The desire for the pleasures (however) remains. When the Supreme is perceived, even that desire becomes destroyed.
Bhashya :- The attributes of the men of wisdom referred earlier does not come about without effort. This has been said in the following verses. “निराहारत्वोन द्यिषयाभोगसामार्थ्षा भाव एव भवति | इतरविषयाकडक्षाभावो वा | रासाकडक्षादिर्न निवर्तते| स त्वपारोक्षज्ञानादेव निवर्तते||”, with abstention of food by the body, there comes weak ness in enjoyment of the senses, not the desire to enjoy the senses. The feelings etc. are not destroyed. That would be destroyed only with attainment of wisdom, thus having been said in this verse. The Wise Ones win over the senses by abstaining from feeding them, since even when abstaining from the feelings, attachment to them (the senses) ever grows, thus in Bhagavat Puraana. rsa also means attachment and also feeling.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- रस means राग, attachment.
