CHAPTER 2 Curiosity About Action इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनु विधीयते। तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि॥67॥ [ “For, as the wind captures the boat on water, just so even one of the senses, that roam amidst objects of their gratification and with which the intellect dwells, is strong enough to sweep away the discrimination of one who is unpossessed of spiritual attainment.’’ ] As the wind drives a boat far away from its destination, even one out of the five senses roving amongst objects perceived by the intellect can get hold of the man who has not undertaken the task of spiritual quest and discipline. Therefore incessant remembrance of God is essential. Krishna again dwells upon the importance of action-oriented conduct.
