Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 371

तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः । इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥

म्हणोनि इंद्रियांचा निग्रहो । जयासी जाहला असे पहा हो । तयाचेचि ठायीं स्थिर राहो । प्रज्ञा माझी ॥

wisdom

💡 Meaning

Therefore, one who has completely restrained their senses from their objects possesses steady wisdom.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that true spiritual stability is achieved only when one masters their senses. Just as a tortoise withdraws its limbs into its shell for protection, a wise person withdraws their senses from worldly objects to prevent the mind from wandering. This internal discipline is the foundation of 'Sthitaprajna' (a person of steady wisdom). Without controlling the senses, the intellect remains scattered and cannot realize the ultimate truth.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, practicing digital detox or resisting the urge to react impulsively to criticism are practical ways to apply sense control for mental peace.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna that a person whose senses are under control is the one with stable wisdom.
