VERSE 18-33 MS 33 Undithering mind

CHAPTER 18,
PATH OF LIBERATION AND RENUNCIATION,
VERSE LIB 33
GIST

CHARACTERISTICS OF A 'SAATVIKA PERSON' (PERSON OF STRENGTH, SELF-RESTRAINT AND TOLERANCE)
That determination and exuberance which are settled in a concentrated undithering mind, controlling the mind, vital functions, are Saatvikii (Strong, but self-restraining and tolerant).

BLOGGER'S VIEWThis is one of the best and the clearest verses in Gita. Note the stress on self control.

AADHYAAYA 18,
MOOKSHA SANYAASA YOOGA
S`LOOKA: MSY 33

Dhrutyaa yayaa dhaarayatee
mana:praan`eendriyakriyaa:
yoogeenaavyabhichaarin`yaa
dhruti: saa paartha saattvikii.
