Bhagavad Gita 2.70
आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठंसमुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्।तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वेस शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी॥
āpūryamāṇamacalapratiṣṭhaṃsamudramāpaḥ praviśanti yadvat |tadvatkāmā yaṃ praviśanti sarvesa śāntimāpnoti na kāmakāmī ||
He attains peace into whom all desires enter, just as waters enter the ocean which, filled from all sides, remains unmoved; but not the man who is full of desires.
He attains peace into whom desires flow as rivers into the ocean, which, though brimming with water, remains ever the same; not he whom desires carry away.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
