然,那擺脫愛憎、感官受自我掌控、自制之人,以其感官遊走於諸境時,便能獲得寧靜。
But by perceiving objects with the organs that are free from attraction and repulsion, and are under his own control, the self-controlled man attains serenity.
心與感官天生具有愛與憎的傾向,因此對某些事物產生喜愛,對另一些則厭惡。然而,自律之人以擺脫愛憎並受真我掌控的心與感官,遊走於感官對象之間,便能達到永恆的平靜。感官與心靈順從其意志,因為自律的真我擁有非常堅強的意志。自律的真我只攝取維持身體所需之物,不帶愛憎,且絕不觸犯經典所禁之物。在此詩節中,奎師那主回答了阿周那的第四個問題:「智慧堅定之聖者如何行事?」
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 senseobjects with the mind and the 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 ite 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 Arjunas fourth estion? How does a sage of steady wisdom move about (Cf.III.7.19?25XVIII.9).
