Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
68. Therefore, O Arjuna, he whose senses are all under control from the objects of senses, only his awareness is well established.
Bhashya :- Therefore, only by control of the senses in all respects can the wise overcome. Thus in this verse.
69. What is obscure (night) to all the creatures, that is the time of luminosity for the disciplined soul and what is like being luminous for the creatures, that Is perceived as obscure (night) by the Muni, the thinker.
Bhashya :- The indications of transcendental meditation by the wise have been spoken in this verse. That which is obscure being concealed, verily, is form of the Lord, which as to one who is in sleep is unclear. But those who have their senses under control are awake and experience everything and perceive the Supreme Self. This is the meaning. In those creatures, whose senses are awake, for them, the sleep like the conditions of the night, normally are known, like the one who is imbalanced, are the ways of his walking. Therefore it is said the body, verily, is not mine, the body, verily, is not the one made of skin and the body is one which is under the control of the gods, thus having been spoken. मननयुक्तो मुनि: - one who meditates is called the thinker. पश्यत् means one who perceives.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Except for the Gods, all men of wisdom cannot perceive Brahman clearly, for they do not see as during night they do not perceive Brahman. Like the ones who are bewildered, see nothing else which is shown, because of their being not in concentrated mind or due to excessive pleasure, like the divine Sun shining in the skyall perceive everything. Even in such cases, however, the Superior Ones know the expansive things, thus in Brahma Tarka.
