Bhagavad Gita

Translation by His Divine Grace Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad

Chapter Two : Contents of the Gita summarized Verses 65 to 68

prasade sarva-duhkhanam hanir asyopajayate prasanna-cetaso hy asu buddhih paryavatisthate	For one thus satisfied [in Krsna consciousness], the threefold miseries of material existence exist no longer; in such satisfied consciousness, one's intelligence is soon well established.
nasti buddhir ayuktasya na cayuktasya bhavana na cabhavayatah santir asantasya kutah sukham	One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Krsna consciousness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?
indriyanam hi caratam yan mano 'nuvidhiyate tad asya harati prajnam vayur navam ivambhasi	As a boat on the water is swept away by a strong wind, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence.
tasmad yasya maha-baho nigrhitani sarvasah indriyanindriyarthebhyas tasya prajna pratisthita	Therefore, O mighty-armed, one whose senses are restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence.
