On presence
नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना । न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम्
Sanskrit
जिसके मन-इन्द्रियाँ संयमित नहीं हैं, ऐसे मनुष्यकी व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धि नहीं होती और व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धि न होनेसे उसमें कर्तव्यपरायणताकी भावना नहीं होती। ऐसी भावना न होनेसे उसको शान्ति नहीं मिलती। फिर शान्तिरहित मनुष्यको सुख कैसे मिल सकता है?
There is no knowledge of the Self to the unsteady and to the unsteady no meditation is possible, and to the unmeditative there can be no peace, and to the man who has no peace, how can there be happiness?
Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 2 2.66Sanskrit: public domain · Hindi tr. Swami Ramsukhdas · English tr. Swami Sivananda
What it means
Without a steady mind there is no peace — and without peace, no happiness.
