Chapter 2 ā Contents of the Gita Summarised
Text 64 – But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.
Purport – It is already explained that one may externally control the senses by some artiļ¬cial process, but unless the senses are engaged in the transcendental service of the Lord, there is every chance of a fall. Although the person in full Kį¹į¹£į¹a consciousness may apparently be on the sensual plane, because of his being Kį¹į¹£į¹a conscious he has no attachment to sensual activities. The Kį¹į¹£į¹a conscious person is concerned only with the satisfaction of Kį¹į¹£į¹a, and nothing else. Therefore he is transcendental to all attachment and detachment. If Kį¹į¹£į¹a wants, the devotee can do anything which is ordinarily undesirable; and if Kį¹į¹£į¹a does not want, he shall not do that which he would have ordinarily done for his own satisfaction. Therefore to act or not to act is within his control because he acts only under the direction of Kį¹į¹£į¹a. This consciousness is the causeless mercy of the Lord, which the devotee can achieve in spite of his being attached to the sensual platform.
Purport 65 – For one thus satisļ¬ed [in Kį¹į¹£į¹a consciousness], the threefold miseries of material existence exist no longer; in such satisļ¬ed consciousness, oneās intelligence is soon well established.
