Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga

66. For the unrestrained, there is no intelligence; nor for the unrestrained is there insensitivity. And for the insensitive, there is no peace; and for the one who has no peace how can there ever be happiness ?
Bhashya :- Defects due to the absence of the happiness are spoken in the latter part of the verse. In the absence of happiness, there is no concentration of the mind. For the one who has no. concentration, his intellect can never have realization. Therefore, it is declared – नचयुक्तस्य– not for the one without concentration. peace means deliverance, Peace, Deliverance, Nirvana have similar meanings, thus has it been said.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Peace means abidance in the Lord, thus in Bhagavat Puraana.
67. When the mind is roving around the senses, then it carries away with it, the understanding even as the wind carries away the boat in the waters.
Bhashya :- In this verse it has been said how is it that for the concentrated meditation is not possible? Do the senses not perform the actions energized by the Lord? Not entirely so, since later it has been said 'By Awareness, wisdom_.etc.'[1]. Awareness, wisdom is not allowed to be unenlightened and the unenlightened wisdom being weak is incapable for meditation.
