Bhagavad Gita 2.64

रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन्। आत्मवश्यैर्विधेयात्मा प्रसादमधिगच्छति॥

rāga-dveṣha-viyuktais tu viṣhayān indriyaiśh charan ātma-vaśhyair-vidheyātmā prasādam adhigachchhati

Translation

But the disciplined self, moving among sense-objects with senses free from attraction and repulsion, mastered by the Self, goeth to peace.

What it means

But one who moves among sense objects with senses free of attraction and aversion, self-governed, attains peace. The goal is not a world without objects but a self without compulsion.

Try this today

The alternative to suppression: move through the world with senses operating but not yanked.

Something to reflect on

Can I move through temptation without either grabbing or flinching?
