Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 70
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 70

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं
समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्।
तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे
स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी।।2.70।।



English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
2.70 That man attains peace into whom all desires enter in the same way as the waters flow into a sea that remains unchanged (even) when being filled up from all sides. Not so one who is desirous of objects.


English Translation - Swami Sivananda
2.70 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.


English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.70. Just as waters enter into the ocean which is being filled continuously and which is [yet] firmly established,  in the same way, he into whom all objects of desire enter-he attains peace;  not he who longs for the objects of desire.
