Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 64

रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन् । आत्मवश्यैर्विधेयात्मा प्रसादमधिगच्छति ॥

rāga-dveṣa-viyuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś caran | ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati ||

But the self-disciplined person, moving among sense objects with senses under control and free from attachment and aversion, attains tranquility.

After showing the downward spiral (2.62-63), Krishna reveals the upward path. The key is rāga-dveṣa-viyuktaiḥ—free from both attachment ('I must have this') and aversion ('I must avoid this'). You still move among sense objects (viṣayān indriyaiś caran)—you don't run from the world. But now with ātma-vaśya (self-control): your senses serve you, not control you. You engage life skillfully, choosing from wisdom rather than driven by craving or fear. The result? Prasādam adhigacchati—you attain prasāda, a tranquil clarity where the same world that destroys others becomes your field of peace.
