Meaning
Krishna continues: while speaking, letting go, taking hold, and even opening and closing the eyes, such a person holds firmly that it is only the senses moving among their objects.
हिंदी में अर्थ
श्रीकृष्ण आगे कहते हैं: बोलते, छोड़ते, पकड़ते, यहाँ तक कि आँखें खोलते और बंद करते हुए भी वह यही समझता है कि बस इंद्रियाँ अपने-अपने विषयों में बरत रही हैं।
Practise it today
When a craving or irritation rises today, say silently, "My senses are reacting to something," and watch it as an event, not as who you are.
Reflect tonight
Did seeing a reaction as 'just the senses' help you stay calm today? When?
