sarvan partha mano-gatan
atmany evatmana tustah
sthita-prajnas tadocyate
SYNONYMS
sri-bhagavan uvaca--the Supreme Personality of Godhead said; prajahati-
-gives up; yada--when; kaman--desires for sense gratification; sarvan--
of all varieties; partha--O son of Prtha; manah-gatan--of mental
concoction; atmani--in the pure state of the soul; eva--certainly;
atmana--by the purified mind; tustah--satisfied; sthita-prajnah--
transcendentally situated; tada--at that time; ucyate--is said.
TRANSLATION
The Blessed Lord said: O Partha, when a man gives up all varieties of
sense desire which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind
finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure
transcendental consciousness.
THE PERVADING MEANING
The Bhagavatam affirms that any person who is fully in Krsna
consciousness, or devotional service of the Lord, has all the good
qualities of the great sages, whereas a person who is not so
transcendentally situated has no good qualifications, because he is
sure to be taking refuge in his own mental concoctions. Consequently,
it is rightly said herein that one has to give up all kinds of sense
desire manufactured by mental concoction. Artificially, such sense
desires cannot be stopped. But if one is engaged in Krsna
consciousness, then, automatically, sense desires subside without
extraneous efforts. Therefore, one has to engage himself in Krsna
consciousness without hesitation, for this devotional service will
instantly help one onto the platform of transcendental consciousness.
The highly developed soul always remains satisfied in himself by
realizing himself as the eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord. Such a
transcendentally situated person has no sense desires resulting from
petty materialism; rather, he remains always happy in his natural
position of eternally serving the Supreme Lord.

The Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
