## Verses

### Bhagavad Gita 2.70

> आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं
> समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् ।
> तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे
> स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

Meaning (Hindi): जैसे नदियाँ स्थिर समुद्र में प्रवेश करती हैं, वैसे ही इच्छाएँ जिस व्यक्ति में प्रवेश कर उसे विचलित नहीं करतीं, वह शांति पाता है; इच्छाओं का पीछा करने वाला नहीं।

Meaning (English): As rivers enter the full, steady ocean, desires enter the steady person without disturbing them. Such a person finds peace, unlike one who seeks desires.
