Bhagavad Gita – II – 70

The rivers and the ocean

Apuryamanam Achalapratishtam Samudram Apaha Pravishanti Yadvat|

Tadvat Kama Yam Pravishanti Sarve Sashantim Apnoti Na Kama Kami||

Just as the ocean remains steady even after all te waters merge into it, like a steady mountain, in the same way, the man in whom all objects of desires merge, remains steady. The one who runs after all objects of desire, does not experience any peace whatsoever. – SS.

Bhagavad Gita – II – 69

What is day for us is night for them

Ya Nisha Sarva Bhutanam Tasyam Jagarti Samyami|

Yasyam Jagrati Bhutani Sa Nisha Pashyato Munehe||

When the beings of the world are awake to the pleasures of the senses they are in darkness of the night towards the self. The one who is completely aware is wide awake to the reality that is present at all times. However, when the whole world is asleep to the reality, the wise one is awake. – SS.
