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 - 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.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.70 Apuryamanam etc.   the man of  Yoga does not run out for the sake of pleasure;  but, rather just as the floods of the rivers enter into the sea, the objects of pleasure  [themselves]  continuously enter into him on account of their being peculiar attributes of the sense-organs;  and they do not create in him waves  [of agitation].  thus the third estion is decided.
