  61. Bhagavadgītā 2.67, English Such of the roving senses as the mind yieldeth to, that hurries away the understanding, just as the gale hurries away a ship upon the waters. Annie Besant
  62. Bhagavadgītā 2.68, English Therefore, O mighty-armed, whose senses are all completely restrained from the objects of sense, of him the understanding is well poised. Annie Besant
