रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु

64. But the self-controlled man, moving amongst objects with the senses under restraint, and free from attraction and repulsion, attains to peace.
Commentary: The mind and the senses are
naturally endowed with the two currents of attraction and repulsion. Therefore, the mind and the senses like
certain objects and dislike certain other objects. But the disciplined man moves among
sense-objects with the mind and senses free from attraction and repulsion and
mastered by the Self, attains to the peace of the Eternal. The senses and the mind obey his will, as the
disciplined self has a very strong will.
The disciplined self takes only those objects which are quite necessary
for the maintenance of the body without any love or hatred. He never takes those objects which are
forbidden by the scriptures.
In this verse Lord Krishna gives the answer to Arjuna’s fourth question, “How does a sage of steady wisdom move about?” (Cf. 3:7, 19, 25; 18:9)
प्रसादे
सर्वदुःखानां हानिरस्योपजायते ।
प्रसन्नचेतसो ह्याशु बुद्धिः पर्यवतिष्ठते ॥ २-६५॥
prasāde sarva-duḥkhānāṁ hānir asyopajāyate

65. In that peace all pains are destroyed, for the intellect of the tranquil-minded soon becomes steady.
Commentary: When peace is attained there is no hankering after sense-objects. The Yogi has perfect mastery over his reason. The intellect abides in the Self. It is quite steady. The miseries of the body and the mind come to an end.
