English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.53. When your determining faculty,  that had been [earlier] confused by your hearing [of scriptural declaration of fruits]  shall stand stable in concentration, at that time you shall attain the Yoga.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.52-53 Yada te etc.  Sruti-etc.  At the time, when the determining facult with regard to the Yoga is attained, the clear sign of recognizing it, is this :  An attitude of futility about the revealed literature that has to be listened to, that has been listened to and that is being declared.  What has been declared by the above is this :  This present view of yours about the ruination of your race is out of place and it is due to the influence of your deceptive notion, born of mental impressions created by your listening to the teachings of those scriptures that favour the observers who are fallen deep into the course of ignorance.  But, that view shall vanish when the respect for such a teaching disappears.
