It is night forthe yogi who sees when all others are wakeful. (Enlightened one is actively pursuing things thatignorants do not pursue and does not go after things that are pursued by ignorant.) (2.69)आपूयर्माणम् अचलपर्ितं समुदर्म् आपः पर्िवशिन्त यत्। तत् कामा यं पर्िवशिन्त सव स शािन्तम् आोित न कामकामी।।२.७०।।One attains peace, within whose mind all desires dissipate without creating any mentaldisturbance, as river waters enter the full ocean without creating any disturbance.
