From the Bhagavad-Gita
"The Blessed Lord said: When a man abandons.., all the desires of the heart and is satisfied in the Self by the Self, then is he said to be one stable in wisdom. "He whose mind is not perturbed by adversity, who does not crave for happiness, who is free from fondness, fear and anger, is the Muni (sage) of constant wisdom. "He who is unattached everywhere, who is not delighted at receiving good nor dejected at coming by evil, is poised in wisdom. "When also, like a tortoise its limbs, he can withdraw the senses from sense-objects his wisdom is then set firm. "Sense objects drop out for the abstinent man, though not the longing for them. His longing also ceases when he intuits the Supreme. "The excited senses . . . impetuously carry away the mind of even a wise man, striving for perfection. "The yogi, having controlled them all, sits focused on Me as the supreme goal. His wisdom is constant whose senses are under subjugation. |
