2.70 āpūryamāṇam filled from all sides, acalapratiṣṭham based in stillness, samudram ocean, āpaḥ water, praviśanti enter, yadvat as, tadvat so, kāmāḥ desires, yam whom, praviśanti enter, sarvē all, saḥ he, śāntim peace, āpnōti attains, na not, kāmakāmī desirer of desires.
Commentary:
Just as the ocean filled with waters from all sides remains unmoved, so also the sage who is resting in his own Svarupa or the Self is not a bit affected though desires of all sorts enter from all sides. The sage attains peace or liberation but not he who longs for objects of sensual enjoyment and entertains various desires. (Cf.XVIII.53,54).
