In this pivotal verse, Lord Krishna transitions from the negative requirement of sensory restraint to the positive state of spiritual grace (prasāda). Here, 'prasāda' is not merely happiness but a state of serene clarity granted by the Divine when the ego’s turbulence ceases. When the mind is cleansed of the agitations of rāga-dveṣa (attachment and aversion), it attains a state of transparency. In this internal stillness, the intellect stops wandering into the myriad distractions of the material world and anchors itself firmly in the Self. The destruction of 'all sorrows' is not the removal of external challenges, but the cessation of the mind's identification with those challenges. When the buddhi is established in peace, the seeker realizes that their true essence was never touched by the shifting circumstances of prakriti. This is the hallmark of a 'sthita-prajña'—a person of steady wisdom. Krishna explains that once the mind becomes a mirror of the Divine, the intellect naturally gravitates toward the Truth, making liberation not just an intellectual goal, but a living, experiential reality. The grace mentioned here acts as an internal gravitational pull, drawing the soul away from the friction of worldly desires and into the seamless unity of the Absolute. It is the final stage of preparation where the seeker ceases to 'seek' and begins to 'abide'.

When the mind is purified of restless desires, the intellect naturally stabilizes in the Divine, causing all existential suffering to dissolve into the peace of the Self.
