Meaning of Gita 2.70 in English

Rivers keep pouring into the ocean, yet it stays full and unmoved. In the same way, one into whom desires flow without disturbing them finds peace — not one who chases desires.

गीता 2.70 का हिंदी अर्थ

जैसे नदियाँ लगातार समुद्र में मिलती हैं पर समुद्र भरा और अचल रहता है, वैसे ही जिसमें सब कामनाएँ बिना हलचल के समा जाती हैं, वही शांति पाता है — कामनाओं के पीछे भागने वाला नहीं।
