Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 66.na asthi budDhiH ayukthasay na cha ayukthasya bhaavanaa na cha abhaavayathaH SanthiH asaanthasya kuthaH sukham One who has no control over his senses and the mind will not have steadiness of mind nor is he able to contemplate on the Lord.. Therefore for him there is no peace of mind and without peace of mind there is no happiness. As explained in the previous two slokas, equanimity of mind can be achieved only when the mind and the indhriyas through the mind are under control. This could be achieved only by the contemplation of the supreme self. This is denoted as bhavana. The mind of one who has no control over it, is agitated and runs after the sense objects. Hence his budDhi is not steady. Thus no contemplation on the Absolute is possible because the mind always wanders. Hence there is no peace and consequently no happiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
