Ch 02 : Sh 70

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं-समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्‌ ।
तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वेस शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

Transliteration

apuryamanam acala-pratistham samudram apah pravisanti yadvat
tadvat kama yam pravisanti sarve sa santim apnoti na kama-kami

Translation

As the rivers and lakes enter into the ocean, which although full, remains undisturbed, in the same way, when all desires flow into a steady-minded person, the desires become fused in him, do not affect him, and do not make him avarice. He achieves peace is contrary to the one who strives to satisfy desires
