Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 26
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 4 श्लोक 26

श्रोत्रादीनीन्द्रियाण्यन्ये संयमाग्निषु जुह्वति।
शब्दादीन्विषयानन्य इन्द्रियाग्निषु जुह्वति।।4.26।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
4.26. [Yet] others offer the sense-organs like sense-of-hearing and the rest into the fiires of [their] restrainer; others offer the objects like sound and the rest into the fires of the sense-organs.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
4.26 Srotradini etc.  But others [offer] the sense-organs into the fires of the restrainer.  Restrainer :  the mind.  Its fires are the tongues of flame that are in the form of  subdued views of objects and are capable of burning  up desires.  Into them they offer the sense-organs.  Hence, they are the performers of penance-sacrifices.  Still others offer objects into  the fires of sense-organs that are  fully set-blaze by wisdom and that are  capable of burning up the fruits  [of actions].  I.e.,  they seek enjoyment only for destroying the [past]  mental impression of differences  [between the enjoyer and the objects of enjoyment].  This is the secret and sacred truth. Hence I  (Ag.)  have myself  stated in the laghvi  Prakriya  (the Little Process)  as :
 
The object of enjoyment does not manifest as different  from you, the enjoyer.  Because, it is the [process of]  enjoyment that itself  is the identification (or unity) of hte enjoyer and the object of enjoyment.
 
In the [work]  Spanda also  [it has been said] :
 
It is the enjoyer himself who remains in all the instances and at all times,  in the form of the object of enjoyment.
