Verse 2.64

Verse 2.64: “Per contra, one, moving amongst objects of sense, with his senses bereft of (all) attachment and aversion, and obedient to his will: such a disciplined self attains to perfect serenity. (331)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Therefore, all the sense-objects should be completely expelled from the mind and then wrath and hatred will automatically get destroyed. O Partha, hear one important thing; when wrath and hatred get destroyed, the senses, even when they enjoy the sense-objects do not cause harm. The Sun in the sky touches the entire universe with his rays, yet he never gets in any way affected by any sin of contact (with impure objects). In the same way one in no way attached to the senseobjects, but has, on the contrary, got himself rid of passions and wrath, even abides in complete bliss of the Self. Such a one does not feel anything but the Self even in the (sense)-objects of enjoyment. Say then, who could be affected, and by what sense-objects? Were water to drown water, fire to burn fire, then only one who has reached perfection could get confused by the sense-objects. Thus one, who abides in the essence of the Self, with no feeling of any distinction, know ye, Partha, is of certainty a Sthirabuddhi.
