Krishna delivers the ultimate metaphor for emotional bandwidth. He compares the mind of a sage to the ocean (samudram). The ocean is constantly being filled (āpūryamāṇam) by millions of rushing rivers (āpaḥ praviśanti), yet it remains completely unmoving and undisturbed in its foundation (acala-pratiṣṭhaṃ). Similarly, the sage is constantly bombarded by desires and sensory inputs (kāmā yaṃ praviśanti sarve). But because their mind is vast like the ocean, they absorb it all without losing their peace (sa śāntim āpnoti). The one who desperately chases after those desires (kāma-kāmī) will never find peace.
