rāga-dveṣa viyuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś-caran |
ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati || 64 ||
 
64. But one who is self-controlled, moving among the sense-objects with the senses under restraint, free from attraction and aversion, attains tranquillity.

Commentary

Having focussed the mind on Me in the way already described, one who views the sense-objects with indifference; with the senses under control and free from aversion and attraction through the eradication of all impurities of mind[1] — such a person is self-disciplined, and serene.
