Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-2 Sankhya Yogaḥ

nāsti buddhir-ayuktasya na cāpyuktasya bhāvanā | na cābhāvayataḥ śāntir aśāntasya kutaḥ sukham || 66 || 66. There is no right disposition (Buddhi) for the un-integrated, for him there is no contemplation on the ātman, and for one without contemplation on the ātman there is no peace; and for one lacking peace where is happiness? Commentary When one does not focus [and integrate] the mind on Me but engages only in the attempt to control the senses by self-exertion, the Buddhi or the right disposition that is associated with the pure ātman cannot arise. Therefore one fails in the practice of meditation. One who does not reflect upon the nature of the pure ātman, again begets the desire for sense gratification. How can eternal and unsurpassed bliss be generated in one who is not serene but is attached to sense-gratification?
