Ch 02 : Sh 52-53

यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति ।
तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च ॥
श्रुतिविप्रतिपन्ना ते यदा स्थास्यति निश्चला ।
समाधावचला बुद्धिस्तदा योगमवाप्स्यसि ॥

Transliteration

yada te moha-kalilam buddhir vyatitarisyati
tada gantasi nirvedamsrotavyasya srutasya ca
sruti-vipratipanna te yada sthasyati niscala
samadhav acala buddhis tada yogam avapsyasi

Translation

When your intelligence has passed out of the dense forest of delusion, you shall become indifferent to all that has been heard and all that is to be heard. When your mind, which has become unstable by hearing the differing language of the scriptures, has become stable, steady in regarding Self-Realization in God, you will attain the divine consciousness.

Purport

After explaining the glory of Buddhi Yoga as the tool to achieve perfection in actions and liberation, Bhagvan Shri Krishna explains other significance of Buddhi Yoga, that is establishing intelligence into Supreme Shri Krishna.

Bhagvan said, that those whose intelligence are fixed on Supreme, does not get disturb by the differing words of different scriptures and explanations by different people. Such people win over the confusion and acquires the clarity.
