On the contrary, one who moves about and consumes the sense-objects through their sense-organs, freed from desire and hatred and controlled in the Self—such a one, with a disciplined mind, attains serenity of disposition.
But the self-controlled soul, who moves amongst sense objects, free from either attachment or repulsion, he wins eternal Peace.
But he who goes through the sense-objects with the senses free from love and hate, disciplined and controlled, attains serenity.
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.
But the self-controlled man, moving amongst objects with the senses under restraint, and free from attraction and repulsion, attains to peace.

The ability to make decisions is not for one who is not a master of Yoga; and concentration of the mind is not for one who is not a master of Yoga; and peace is not for one who does not concentrate; whence could happiness come to one who has no peace?
Right discrimination is not for him who cannot concentrate. Without concentration, there cannot be meditation; he who cannot meditate must not expect peace; and without peace, how can anyone expect happiness?
There is no Buddhi for the unintegrated, nor for him is there contemplation of the self, and for him without contemplation of the self, there is no peace; and for one lacking peace, where is happiness?
For the unsteady there is no wisdom, and there is no meditation for the unsteady man. And for an unmeditative man there is no peace. How can there be happiness for one without peace?
There is no knowledge of the Self to the unsteady, and to the unsteady no meditation is possible; and to the un-meditative there can be no peace; and to the man who has no peace, how can there be happiness?

Upon attaining serenity, all miseries are extinguished in succession; the ability to make decisions is quickly stabilized in the mind of one who is serene.
Having attained Peace, he becomes free from misery; for when the mind gains peace, right discrimination follows.
In that serenity there is loss of all sorrow; for in the case of the person with a serene mind, the Buddhi soon becomes well established.
When there is serenity, there follows eradication of all his sorrows, because the wisdom of one who has a serene mind soon becomes firmly established.
In that peace all pains are destroyed, for the intellect of the tranquil-minded soon becomes steady.
