बाह्यस्पर्शेष्वसक्तात्मा विन्दत्यात्मनि यत्सुखम्।

English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
5.21 With his heart unattached to external objects, he gets the bliss that is in the Self. With his heart absorbed in meditation on Brahman, he acires undecaying Bliss.


English Translation - Swami Sivananda
5.21 With the self unattached to external contacts he finds happiness in the Self; with the self engaged in    the meditation of Brahman he attains to the endless happiness.


English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
5.21. The enjoyments that are born of contacts [with objects] are indeed nothing but sources of misery and have beginning and end.  [Hence], an intelligent man does not get delighted in them, O son of Kunti !
