My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Just as waters enter into the ocean which is being filled continuously yet firmly established, so too he into whom all objects of desire enter—he attains peace; not he who longs for the objects of desire.

Shri Purohit Swami

He attains Peace, into whom desires flow as rivers into the ocean, which though brimming with water remains ever the same; not he whom desire carries away.

Swami Adidevananda

He into whom all desires enter as the waters enter the full and undisturbed sea, attains to peace, and not he who longs after objects of desire.

Swami Gambirananda

That man attains peace into whom all desires enter in the same way as the waters flow into a sea that remains unchanged (even) when being filled up from all sides. Not so one who is desirous of objects.

Swami Sivananda

He attains peace into whom all desires enter as waters enter the ocean, which, filled from all sides, remains unmoved; but not the man who is full of desires.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

O son of Prtha! This is the Brahmanic state; having attained this, one never gets deluded again. Even by remaining in this [state] for a while, one attains at the time of death the Brahman, the Transcendent One.

Shri Purohit Swami

O Arjuna! This is the state of the Self, the Supreme Spirit, to which if a man once attain, it shall never be taken from him. Even at the time of leaving the body, he will remain firmly enthroned there, and will become one with the Eternal."

Swami Adidevananda

This is the Brahmi-state, O Arjuna. None attaining to this is deluded. By abiding in this state even at the hour of death, one wins the self.

Swami Gambirananda

O Partha, this is the state of being established in Brahman. One does not become deluded after attaining this. One attains identification with Brahman by being established in this state even in the closing years of one's life.

Swami Sivananda

This is the Brahmic seat (eternal state), O son of Pritha! Attaining to this, none is deluded. Being established therein, even at the end of life one attains to oneness with Brahman.
