Vertaling

He attains peace into whom all desires enter as waters enter the ocean which, filled from all sides, remains unmoved; but not the man who is full of desires.

Uitleg

Krishna returns to the image of water, now on a grand scale. Rivers pour constantly into the ocean, yet it stays within its bounds and is not disturbed. In the same way, the person into whom all desires flow without disturbing them attains peace, while one who chases desires does not. The verse does not claim that desires stop arising. It describes a fullness so deep that desires enter and dissolve without making waves. It is one of the chapter's most memorable images.
