How does he sit, O Lord? When like a tortoise, which draws its limbs from all directions, he withdraws his senses from the sense-objects, he becomes stable of mind.(58) How to recognise that one has withdrawn his senses from the sense-objects? Sense-objects cease for the embodied (soul) who does not enjoy them with his senses, but taste for them persists. This relish also disappears in the case of the man of stable mind, when he attains the Supreme.(59) What is the loss by having this relish (taste)? O Kuntinandana (Arjuna), turbulent by nature, the senses even of a Wiseman, who is practising self-control, forcibly carry away his mind to the sense-objects.(60) What should he done to do away with this taste? Having controlled all the senses one should depend on Me and depending on Me, he should be free from all worries. Thus the intellect of the person whose senses are controlled is stable.(61) |
