60. Arjuna, the agitating senses
are powerful enough to forcibly draw away the mind of a wise man even
when he is striving hard keep away from them
61.
To achieve a steady mind, he should restrain (from the agitating
senses), contemplate (the ultimate objective) and take refuge in it.
Steady mind is achieved when senses are under control.
62.
When you contemplate on the objects of sense, attachment begins. From
attachment springs desire, desire matures into passion and it assumes
the form of anger
63. Anger
leads to loss of understanding (confusion in the mind) and confused mind
leads to forgetting the real objective, losing the memory of real
objective leads to loss of wisdom. Owing to this loss of wisdom, the man
is utterly ruined
64. Using
the senses pertaining to the inner self, which has aversion and
attachment in control and appreciating the situation in hand, leads to
clarity and peace of mind
65.
Peaceful and clear mind annihilates all the miseries of a person.
Because the right knowledge reaches the person who has the clarity of
mind, strengths it and makes it steady
66.
The person who is unable to control his mind, cannot be self-restrained
and in turn is unable to contemplate on the real objective that leads
to peace of mind.
