Frees from fear.
41
In their resolve
Succeed firm,
Mind as wavers
Lose infirm.
42
Unwise use all enticing
Flowery language to further
Rituals Vedic in their scores
Not the knowledge of Vedas.
43
Eyeing heaven with mind mundane
Go for ceremonies such in hope
Of having best of both the worlds.
44
Pursue if thou wants with zeal
Instincts then would spin thy mind.
45
Aspects three of life, reveal Vedas four
Transcend thou dualities, in them as inherent.
46
Well-waters draw Veda-dependent
Banks on reservoir dwell all realized.
47
Hold as patent on thy work
Reckon thou not on royalty
With no way to ceasing work
Never mind outcome but go on.
48
It’s but yoga
If thou strive
Wants without
Emotions bereft.
49
Work well greedy with motive
Work wise not with result in mind.
50
Wise not sentiment bring to work
That's hallmark of art of work.
51
Freed from bonds with mind even
Act wise regardless ever composed.
52
Clears if reason one’s illusion
Bothers he not to what's over
Or for what might lie in store.
53
Stands as firm mind thy clear
Steer thou clear of path rituals.
54
Thus spoke Arjuna:
How to spot the yogi true
Were he there ever in the crowd?
55
Thus spoke the Lord:
Blessed are strong with blissful self
Helps them that slight all that tempts.
56
Oblivious of misfortune
Not the one to crave for fun
Sways not ever by his feelings
Stays thus yogi ever even.
57
Unfettered by attachment
Compliments to indifferent
Adversity by unshaken
Wisdom thus is personified.
58
Stimuli those of organs sensory
Tortoise like, wise draw into shell.
59
Senses reined
Who so abstains,
Sans he longing
Turns he godly.
60
Senses as may tend them rash
Wise as well stray, from right path.
61
Rein in senses, hone thine effort
Rely on Supreme, that’s true wisdom.
62
Leans man on
Lends what charm,
Brings that want
And that’s fault.
63
Despair is what clouds reason
Brings that ruin through deeds mindless.
64
Yield to senses sans craving
Cap as thou thy wants dubious.
65
Calm that offsets woes of life
And that equable makes thy mind.
66
Lacks mind focus as it strays
Robs that peace ’n joy thereby.
67
As in seas sans boat rudder
So course sensual man loses.
68
With tight leash on their senses
Wise with ease lead poised lives.
69
Ignoring all ignorant crave
Wise take note what folks not note.
70
Subdues as sea, rivers it holds
Wise keep cool while wants taming.
71
Freed of ego ’n wants as well
