Meaning
Supreme God Krishna spoke
Like rivers flow into the full-to-the-brim ocean {without causing turbulence in its serene depths}, so do sensual pleasures flow into a Sthitprajna person, whose mind has firmly stabilized in divine consciousness {without disrupting his mental poise and equilibrium}. Peace is attained only by such souls, not by those that harbor cravings. (2:70)
