।।2.60।। हे कौन्तेय (संयम का) प्रयत्न करते हुए बुद्धिमान (विपश्चित) पुरुष के भी मन को ये इन्द्रियां बलपूर्वक हर लेती हैं।।
2.60 यततः of the striving? हि indeed? अपि even? कौन्तेय O Kaunteya (son of Kunti)? पुरुषस्य of man? विपश्चितः (of the) wise? इन्द्रियाणि the senses? प्रमाथीनि turbulent? हरन्ति carry away? प्रसभम् violently? मनः the mind.Commentary The aspirant should first bring the senses under his control. The senses are like horses. If you keep the horses under your perfect control you can reach your destinaton safely. Turbulent horses will throw you down on the way. Even so the turbulent senses will hurl yo
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
2.60 For, O son of Kunti, the turbulent organs violently snatch away the mind of an intelligent person, even while he is striving diligently.
।।2.60।।यथार्थ ज्ञानरूप बुद्धिकी स्थिरता चाहनेवाले पुरुषोंको पहले इन्द्रियोंको अपने वशमें कर लेना चाहिये क्योंकि उनको वशमें न करनेसे दोष बतलाते हैं हे कौन्तेय जिससे की प्रयत्न करनेवाले विचारशील बुद्धिमान् पुरुषकी भी प्रमथनशील इन्द्रियाँ उस विषयाभिमुख हुए पुरुषको क्षुब्ध कर देती हैं व्याकुल कर देती हैं और व्याकुल करके ( उस ) केवल प्रकाशको ही देखनेवाले विद्वान्के विवेकविज्ञानयुक्त मनको ( भी ) बलात्कारसे विचलित कर देती हैं।
