After showing the downward spiral (2.62-63), Krishna reveals the upward path. The key is rāga-dveṣa-viyuktaiḥ—free from both attachment ('I must have this') and aversion ('I must avoid this'). You still move among sense objects (viṣayān indriyaiś caran)—you don't run from the world. But now with ātma-vaśya (self-control): your senses serve you, not control you. You engage life skillfully, choosing from wisdom rather than driven by craving or fear. The result? Prasādam adhigacchati—you attain prasāda, a tranquil clarity where the same world that destroys others becomes your field of peace.
