BG 2.71

A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification, who lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship and is devoid of false ego – he alone can attain real peace.

2.71. That person, who, by abandoning all desires, consumes [objects] without longing, without a sense of possession and without egotism-he attains peace.

2.71 He attains Peace who, giving up desire, moves through the world without aspiration, possessing nothing which he can call his own, and free from pride.

2.71 Vihaya etc. Because he has renounced all desires, the man of Yoga, attains emancipation in the form of peace.

2.71 What are desired, they are called the objects of desire. These are sound and other sense-objects. The person, who wants peace must abandon all sense-objects such as sound, touch etc. He should have no longing for them. He should be without the sense of 'mineness' regarding them, as that sense arises from the misconception that the body, which is really non-self, is the self. He who lives in this way attains to peace after seeing the self.

2.71 The man who, abandoning all desires, abides without longing and possession and the sense of 'I' and 'mine', wins peace.

2.71 That man attains peace who, after rejecting all desires, moves about free from hankering, without the idea of ('me' and) 'mine', and devoid of pride.
