HE WHO ROAMS ON EARTH, having freed himself from the compulsions of past desires, and who keeps himself impervious to the invasion of new cravings, and is no slave to the ego's mean consciousness of “I" and "mine," is wholly free from bondage. With the magic flute of his soul he enchants the peace within him to follow faithfully wherever he goes.
The yogi-householder, who moves among sense objects, must free himself from internal desires that cause bondage more real than thei temptations of the outer world. The man of renunciation must remove himself from the entanglements of the outer jungle of material objects as well as free himself from inner longings for the objects he has relinquished. Then and then only—whether in the world or in a woodland seclusion, whether a householder or a renunciant—one can attain peace.
2 : 71, God talks with Arjuna,
The Bhagavad Gita.
