Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 2: The Path of Understanding

Bhagavad Gita 2.64

rāgadveṣaviyuktaistu viṣayānindriyaiścaran | ātmavaśyairvidheyātmā prasādamadhigacchati ||

But a self-disciplined person, who moves among sense objects with senses that are free from attraction and aversion and under their own control, attains serenity.

Modern context

This is the other path, and it does not require leaving the world. The self-governed person moves among the things of life, uses them and enjoys them, without being pushed by attraction or pulled by aversion. The result is prasada: clearness, a settled gladness. The problem was never the things; it was compulsion.
