Srimad Bhagavadgita-Rahasya OR Karma-Yoga-Sastra -Bal Gangadhar Tilak
CHAPTER 2
Translation:-(67) The Mind which follows in the wake of the senses, which roam about (that is, move), (among the objects of sense), enslaves the Reason of a man, just as the wind (enslaves) a boat in the water.
Translation:-(69) The Sthitaprajna is awake in that which is night for everyone else ; and such a Jnanin looks upon that as night in which every other living being is awake. Description:-[This paradoxical description is metaphorical. Ignorance means 'darkness' and Knowledge means 'light[1]'. That which the Ignorant dislike, that is, what to them is darkness, is desired by the Jnanin ; and that in which the Ignorant are engrossed — that is, what for them is light is ' darkness ' for the Jnanin, that is to say, he does not want it. This is what is meant. For instance, a Jnanin looks upon desire-prompted Action as contemptible, whereas ordinary people are steeped in such Action; and that Desireless Action, which the Jnanin likes, is disliked by others.]
