Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
56. Untroubled in times of sorrow, free from desires in times of pleasure, from whom passion, fear; and anger have departed, be is called a sage established in awareness.
Bhashya :- The same has been clarified in the (next) three verses. For the men of wisdom also, these are the means. It has been said that whatever is recommended for the seeker that is also the distinctive mark of the man of wisdom. Assuming some thing erroneously as the pleasant becomes the source of attachment rsa (sentiment) raga (attachment) and ri>: (loveliness) are said to be erroneous assumptions,
57- 58. He, who being unaffected from all sides, or acquiring the good as well as the evil, does not rejoice or loathe, his awareness is well-established. He who withdraws the senses from the objects of senses, like the tortoise does its limbs within itself, his awareness is well-established.
Bhashya :- Having no attraction towards all things, even when acquiring the good or the evil, he does neither rejoice nor does he hate.
