Bhagavad Gita 2.70 — Like the ocean

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्। तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

āpūryamāṇamacalapratiṣṭhaṃ samudramāpaḥ praviśanti yadvat | tadvatkāmā yaṃ praviśanti sarve sa śāntimāpnoti na kāmakāmī ||

Meaning

Just as rivers keep flowing into the ocean, yet it stays full and unmoved, the person into whom all desires enter without disturbing them finds peace — not one who chases desires.
