नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना ।
न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम् ॥

nāsti buddhir ayuktasya na cāyuktasya bhāvanā |
na cābhāvayataḥ śāntir aśāntasya kutaḥ sukham ||
(Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā: 2.66)

“One who is uncontrolled [i.e., of uncontrolled mind and senses] has no discernment, and one who is uncontrolled has no meditation. One who has no meditation further has no peace [i.e., relief from desire for, and engagement with, the sense objects (viṣaya)], and how can one who has no [such] peace have [any experience of] happiness [i.e., the bliss of the self]?”
