2.65 Having attained Peace, he becomes free from misery; for when the mind gains peace, right discrimination follows.
Swami Sivananda · Direct prose · Divine Life Society
2.65 In that peace all pains are destroyed; for the intellect of the tranquil-minded soon becomes steady.

2.65 Prasade, when there is serenity; upajayate, there follows; hanih, eradication; asya sarva-duhkhanam, of all his, the sannyasin's, sorrow on the physical and other planes. Moreover, (this is so) hi, because; buddhih, the wisdom; prasanna-cetasah, of one who has a serene mind, of one whose mind is poised in the Self; asu, soon; pari-avatisthate, becomes firmly established; remains steady (avatisthate) totally (pari), like the sky, i.e. it becomes unmoving in its very nature as the Self. The meaning of the sentence is this: Since a person with such a poised mind and well-established wisdom attains fulfilment, therefore a man of concentration [A man who is free whom slavery to objects of the senses.] ought to deal with the indispensable and scripturally non-forbidden objects through his senses that are free from love and hatred. That same serenity is being eulogized:
Swami Ādidevānanda · Śrī-Vaiṣṇava perspective · Rāmānuja school
2.65 When the mind of this person gets serene, he gets rid of all sorrows originating from contact with matter. For, in respect of the peson whose mind is serene, i.e., is free from the evil which is antagonistic to the vision of the self, the Buddhi, having the pure self for its object, becomes established immediately. Thus, when the mind is serene, the loss of all sorrow surely arises.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan · Academic precision · modern scholarly
2.65. On attaining serenity, there arises in succession the extinction of all miseries; the capacity to decide gets stabilized soon indeed in the case of a serene-minded one.

2.65 प्रसादे in peace? सर्वदुःखानाम् (of) all pains? हानिः destruction? अस्य of him? उपजायते arises (or happens)? प्रसन्नचेतसः of the tranquil-minded? हि because? आशु soon? बुद्धिः intellect (or reason)? पर्यवतिष्ठते becomes steady.Commentary When the mental peace is attained? there is no hankering after senseobjects. The Yogi has perfect mastery over his reason. The intellect abides in the Self. It is ite steady. The miseries of the body and the mind come to an end.

।।2.65।। शान्ति के मिलने पर क्या होगा ऐसा प्रश्न मानव बुद्धि में उठना स्वाभाविक है। शान्ति प्राप्त होने पर सब दुखों का अन्त हो जाता है। इस वाक्य में सुख की परिभाषा मिलती है। विक्षेपों का होना दुख कहलाता है। अत विक्षेपों के अभाव रूप मन की शान्ति का अर्थ सुख ही होना चाहिये। शान्ति ही सुख है और सुख ही शान्ति है।यहाँ दुखों की हानि से तात्पर्य वासना निवृत्ति से समझना चाहिये। गीता की प्रस्तावना में हमने देखा है कि बुद्धि पर पड़े वासनाओं के आवरण के कारण मनुष्य शोकमोह को प्राप्त होता है जबकि ज्ञानी पुरुष पूर्ववर्णित बुद्धियोग के अभ्यास से वासनाओं का क्षय करके उनके परे आत्मतत्त्व को पहचान लेता है। सामान्यत वासनाओं से मुक्ति पाना मनुष्य के लिये कठिन प्रतीत होता है परन्तु आत्मसंयम एवं समत्त्वयोग के द्वारा यह कार्य सम्पादन किया जा सकता है।अगले श्लोक में भगवान् कहते हैं

2.65।। व्याख्या-- 'तु'-- पूर्वश्लोकमें भगवान्ने कहा कि आसक्ति रहते हुए विषयोंका चिन्तन करनेमात्रसे पतन हो जाता है और यहाँ कहते हैं कि आसक्ति न रहनेपर विषयोंका सेवन करनेसे उत्थान हो जाता है। वहाँ तो बुद्धिका नाश बताया और यहाँ बुद्धिका परमात्मामें स्थित होना बताया। इस प्रकार पहले कहे गये विषयससे यहाँके विषयका अन्तर बतानेके लिये यहाँ तु पद आया है। 'विधेयात्मा' साधकका अन्तःकरण अपने वशमें रहना चाहिये। अन्तःकरणको वशीभूत किये बिना कर्मयोगकी सिद्धि नहीं होती, प्रत्युत कर्म करते हुए विषयोंमें राग होनेकी और पतन होनेकी सम्भावना रहती है। वास्तवमें देखा जाय तो अन्तःकरणको अपने वशमें रखना हरेक साधकके लिये आवश्यक है। कर्मयोगीके लिये तो इसकी विशेष आवश्यकता है। 'आत्मवश्यैः रागद्वेषवियुक्तैः इन्द्रियैः'-- जैसे 'विधेयात्मा' पद अन्तःकरणको वशमें करनेके अर्थमें आया है, ऐसे ही 'आत्मवश्यैः' पद इन्द्रियोंको वशमें करनेके अर्थमें आया है। तात्पर्य है कि व्यवहार करते समय इन्द्रियाँ अपने वशीभूत होनी चाहिये और इन्द्रियाँ वशीभूत होनेके लिये इन्द्रियोंका राग-द्वेष रहित होना जरूरी है। अतः इन्द्रियोंसे किसी विषयका ग्रहण रागपूर्वक न हो और किसी विषयका त्याग द्वेषपूर्वक न हो। कारण कि विषयोंके ग्रहण और त्यागका इतना महत्त्व नहीं है, जितना महत्त्व इन्द्रियोंमें राग और द्वेष न होने देनेका है। इसीलिये तीसरे अध्यायके चौंतीसवें श्लोकमें भगवान्ने साधकके लिये सावधानी बतायी है कि 'प्रत्येक इन्द्रियके विषयमें राग और द्वेष रहते हैं। साधक इनके वशीभूत न हो; क्योंकि ये दोनों ही साधकके शत्रु हैं।' पाँचवें अध्यायके तीसरे श्लोकमें भगवान्ने कहा है कि 'जो साधक राग-द्वेषादि द्वन्द्वोंसे रहित हो जाता है, वह सुखपूर्वक मुक्त हो जाता है।'
