SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 2 Text 59

visaya vinivartante
niraharasya dehinah
rasa-varjam raso 'py asya
param drstva nivartate

visayah--objects for sense enjoyment; vinivartante--are practiced to be refrained from; niraharasya--by negative restrictions; dehinah--for the embodied; rasa-varjam--giving up the taste; rasah--sense of enjoyment; api--although there is; asya--his; param--far superior things; drstva--by experiencing; nivartate--he ceases from.

TRANSLATION

The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.
