Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15 Verse 11
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 15 श्लोक 11

यतन्तो योगिनश्चैनं पश्यन्त्यात्मन्यवस्थितम्।
यतन्तोऽप्यकृतात्मानो नैनं पश्यन्त्यचेतसः।।15.11।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
15.11. The exerting men of Yoga perceive Him dwelling in the Self. [But] the unintelligent men with their uncontrolled self do not perceive Him, even though they exert.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
15.9-11 Srotram etc. upto asetasah.  Mind :  the internal organ is hery implied.  Hence, due to His association of  the bodily existence, when He remains  [in the body], or rises up to seize another body, or enjoys the sense objects - at that time the deluded persons do not perceive Him, because they are not well enlightened.  But, considering everything as manifestation of the  [Self] awareness, the highly enlightened men recognize Him.  Thus they are men of unbroken contemplation.  Because they are engrossed in their exertion.
 
But in the case of those who have not mastered their self (mind),  even their effort does not  yield any fruit, because their passion has not yet been fully decayed. Indeed the seeds of corn, sown during the autumnal season are not capable of yielding a rich harvest, even though the means like water etc., get collected together. Therefore, it (the water etc.) does not constitute a collection of means.  Indeed totally different is the water  sent forth by the mass of  clouds that had been filled up in the month of Madhu.  Altogether different is the earth that  had been under the grip of the Cold-season (Sisira)  and has (now) brilliance  by the simple touch of the sun-rays.  In the same way, the effort of the men of uncontrolled  self, never gets to the stage of fulfilment of all reisities .  That is why those  who, even after receiving the means like the inititation etc.  necessary for the realisation of the Supreme Lord, continue to have their inner vision filled with the collection of the knots (granthi) of anger, bewilderment etc., in the manner as before-in their case, even the means does never bear any fruit.  This must be borne in mind.  For, it is has been said :
 
When anger etc., are seen, then even the initiated one never gets emancipation.
