💡 Meaning

Therefore, he alone is of steady wisdom, who controls his senses and, forgetting sensory objects, remains absorbed in the bliss of the Self.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that true wisdom lies in the mastery of one's senses. A person whose intellect is firmly rooted in the Self does not get distracted by the fleeting pleasures of the material world. By withdrawing the senses from their objects, the seeker finds an internal source of joy that is independent of external circumstances. This state of being absorbed in inner bliss while remaining detached from worldly temptations is the hallmark of a Sthitaprajna.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, this means practicing mindfulness and self-discipline. For instance, staying focused on a long-term goal instead of giving in to immediate distractions like social media is a practical application of sensory control.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the characteristics of a person with steady wisdom (Sthitaprajna) who has mastered their senses.
