Verse 70
Sānkhya Yoga — The Yoga of Discernment
A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still—can alone achieve peace, and not the man who runs after satisfying such desires.
Context & Meaning
As rivers enter the ocean without disturbing it, one whom desires enter without disturbance attains peace, not the one who seeks desires.
