Chapter 2 verse 70
“The man of perfection (Sthita Prajna) attains peace into
whom all desires enters as waters enter the ocean, which filled from all sides,
remains unmoved, but not the “desirer of desires””
What a beautiful verse and comparison? The ocean gets water
fed from all sources but doesn’t move an inch nor gets bloated. Likewise, a
person who has reached a steady wisdom or mind does not get affected by desires
unlike a person who contains and flames up desires constantly. There is a
beautiful sloka as part of the nitya karma-sandhya vandanam ritual which is
aakaashath pathitam toyam yada gacchathi saagaram sarva deva namaskaaraha
kesavam prathi gachathi- Just like all rain which falls eventually merges into
the ocean, likewise all prayers goes to only supreme being. All desires when
surrendered to the supreme being just merges into the divine. If this bhaavana
or contemplation is done every moment of every day, the purpose of our lives will
be fulfilled!
