Just as the ocean, filled from all sides, remains unmoved and undisturbed, so too, the sage into whom all desires enter remains unperturbed. He alone attains peace, not the one who is desirous of desires.

Commentary (टीका)
This verse uses the analogy of the ocean to depict the ideal state of a sage, a *sthita-prajña* (steadfast in wisdom). Just as the ocean remains full and unaffected regardless of how much water enters it, a sage realizes the understanding of his Self (*ātman*) and persists in a state of peace and equanimity, undisturbed by the influx of desires. The key insight here is that true peace cannot be attained by succumbing to cravings and desires. Instead, it emerges from stability and fullness of spirit, akin to the immutable ocean. The sage referred to here has transcended the material level, thereby achieving a sense of completeness. Conversely, one who constantly pursues desires (*kāma-kāmī*) does not reach peace, for such pursuits are endless and often lead to restlessness, never fulfilling the inherent urge for inner peace or *śānti*. In summary, this passage directs the reader toward the value of inner detachment and the importance of centering oneself in the eternal truth, free from the fluctuations of worldly desires.
