B.G 2.70
आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्। तद्वत् कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥७०॥
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.
How a Sthitaprajna experiences material topics is explained in 'āpūryamāṇam' verse.
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.
"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."
-states the testimonial. It is not possible to live relinquishing all desires.
"'shānti' means liberation, where sincerity towards lord Vishnu is firmed up."
-is also stated by the testimonial.
