Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya

B.G 5.23

शक्नोतीहैव यः सोढुं प्राक् शरीरविमोक्षणात्। कामक्रोधोद्भवं वेगं स युक्तः स सुखी नरः ॥२३॥

śaknotīhaiva yaḥ soḍhuṁ prāk śarīravimokṣaṇāt। kāmakrodhodbhavaṁ vegaṁ sa yuktaḥ sa sukhī naraḥ ॥23॥

He who is capable of withstanding the impetus arising from desire and anger, here, in this world, alone is properly engaged and is a happy human.

Gīta Bhāshya 5.23

The renunciation is praised again. It is very difficult to withstand desire and anger in the human body, but must be practiced.

That renunciation is praised again by 'śaknoti' verse.

'Is capable of withstanding the impetus arising from desire and anger, before being free from physical body' - the expression indicates it is very difficult to withstand desire and anger in the human body, but must be practiced here only, and not elsewhere. The realm of Brahma and other worlds are possible for only those who have already conquered desire.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
