Chapter 2 verse 66
“There is no Self knowledge to the unsteady mind and to the
unsteady mind no meditation; and to the person who does not meditate there is
no peace; to the person without peace, how can there be happiness?”
Krishna uses the word “Bhaavana” for meditation or
contemplation. In other words, the person who doesn’t search inward for the
Self within through contemplation and meditation, their mind goes everywhere
and becomes unsteady and where the mind is not steady, there is no peace and
when there is no peace of mind, the person cannot be happy. I had to look up
Bhaavana and found out that it is a pali word used extensively by Buddhism for
mind related matters. The interlink of different schools of thought and ways of
life in Bhaarata varsha seems to be rooted in the same Sanatana dharma
principles.
