Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 2.70
āpūryamāṇamacalapratiṣṭhaṁ samudramāpaḥ praviśanti yadvat। tadvat kāmā yaṁ praviśanti sarvē sa śāntimāpnōti na kāmakāmī ॥70॥
The sea is established unwaveringly even when water enters and fills from all sides, similarly he obtains serenity of mind in whom all desires enter, not he who goes after desires.
Gīta Bhāshya 2.70
They don't get excited about obtaining material pleasures, nor do they shrink because of their need, nor do they eagerly try to obtain them.
tēna viṣayānubhavaprakāramāha - āpūryamāṇam iti॥
How a Sthitaprajna experiences material topics is explained in 'āpūryamāṇam' verse.
yō viṣayaiḥ āpūryamāṇōpi acalapratiṣṭhō bhavati - nōtsēkaṁ prāpnōti, na ca prayatnaṁ karōti, na ca abhāvē śuṣyati। na hi samudraḥ saritpravēśāpravēśanimittavr̥didhaśōṣau bahutarau prāpnōti, prayatnaṁ vā karōti। sa muktim prāpnōti ityarthaḥ ॥70॥
Even when material topics come in contact with them, they are established unwaveringly. On obtaining they are neither excited, nor shrink because of need, nor do they eagerly endeavour. Certainly the sea neither overflows with the inflow of rivers, nor shrinks when rivers dry up, nor does it endeavour. Such a person obtains liberation is the implied meaning.
Gīta Tātparya 2.70
It is not practical to abandon all desires. One must experience the material topics without crossing the boundaries of Dharma. 'shānti' - liberated state where sincerity towards lord Vishnu is firmed up.
"bhuñjānōpi hi yaḥ kāmān maryādāṁ na tarēt kvacit। samudravat dharmamayīṁ nāsau kāmī sa mucyatē। kēti kutsitavācī syāt kutsitaṁ mānamēva tu। kāmō mōkṣavirōdhī syānna sarvēcchā virōdhinī॥"
"Even after experiencing the material topics, one who does not cross the boundaries of decency similar to the sea is said to be without lust. 'Ka' indicates interest in special topics. Desire in general is opposed to liberation, but not all desires."
iti ca। na ca sarvēcchābhāvē jīvanaṁ bhavati।
-states the testimonial. It is not possible to live relinquishing all desires.
"śāntirmōkṣō yatō hyatra viṣṇuniṣṭhā bhavēt dhr̥vā॥"
"'shānti' means liberation, where sincerity towards lord Vishnu is firmed up."
iti ca ॥70॥
-is also stated by the testimonial.

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
