Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

Chapter 2: The Constitution of the Soul (SÄá¹…khya-yoga). Text 66

nÄsti buddhir ayuktasya na chÄyuktasya bhÄvanÄ na chÄbhÄvayataḥ Å›Äntir aÅ›Äntasya kutaḥ sukham [66]

ayuktasya–For a person without self-control; na asti–there is no; buddhiḥ–wisdom, self-knowledge. ayuktasya–For such a person devoid of this intelligence; na cha (asti)–there is no; bhÄvanÄ–meditation on the Lord, purity of thought. abhÄvayataḥ–For one without meditation; na cha (asti)–there is no; Å›Äntiḥ–peace. aÅ›Äntasya–For a person who has no peace; kutaḥ–where is; sukham–happiness? [66]


Text

A person bereft of self-control can have neither wisdom nor meditation. Without meditation there is no peace, and without peace, where is the hope for happiness?
