Explanation
But one of disciplined mind, moving among the objects of the senses with senses under control and free from attraction and aversion, attains serenity (prasāda).
After the warning of 2.62–63, Krishna shows the way out: we need not run from the world, only meet it without being pulled by likes and dislikes. The result is prasāda — a calm, clear joy.
भावार्थ
परन्तु वश में किए हुए मन वाला, राग-द्वेष से रहित इन्द्रियों द्वारा विषयों में विचरता हुआ भी प्रसन्नता (प्रसाद) को प्राप्त होता है।
