Bhagavad Gīta Tātparya
B.G 2.55
śrībhagavānuvāca। prajahāti yadā kāmān sarvān pārtha manōgatān। ātmanyēvātmanā tuṣṭaḥ sthitaprajñastadōcyatē ॥2-55॥
The Lord said:
O Partha, when one relinquishes all the desires is his mind, and is content in the lord, by the lord, then he is said to be the one who is stationed in wisdom.
Gīta Tātparya 2.52
Renunciation of all desires and attainment of complete satisfaction, i.e. liberation, is a gradual process. Hence, initially, not having forbidden desires is equal to desireless ness. The word 'ātma' here refers to lord Vishnu. The liberation becomes possible by Lord's grace only.
"sarvakāmanivr̥ttistu jānatō na kathañcana। aniṣiddhakāmitaivātō hyakāmitvamitīryatē॥ aparōkṣadr̥śōpi syāt yadā nāstyaparōkṣadr̥k। kvacidviruddhakāmōpi yathāyuddhyaddharō harim। atōnabhibhavō yāvaddr̥śastāvannigadyatē। sthitaprajñastathāpyasya kadācitkyapi yā dr̥śiḥ॥ niyamēnaiva mōkṣāya bhavēd yōgyā bhavēdyadi। ayōgyā bhaktijātā cēt kramāt muktyai bhavēttathā॥"
"It is well known, the renunciation of all desires is not possible at once. Therefore, not having forbidden desires is said to be desireless ness. Even when one has the ability to observe the transcendental, along with it, sometimes they will be unable to stay in transcendental because of opposing desires. Observation describes the experience, as in the scenario of Rudra fighting against lord Hari. Even though a person is stationed in the right wisdom, only when he becomes eligible as per rule, he attains liberation. If not eligible, devotion is born from such experience and gradually he attains liberation."

ātmani viṣṇau, ātmanā viṣṇunā। tatprasādādēva tuṣṭaḥ ॥55 ॥
'ātmani' is 'in lord Vishnu'. 'ātmanā' means 'from lord Vishnu'. Only by his grace, one gets complete satisfaction.
