Day - 44:

Chapter 02 – śloka 52:
यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति |
तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च || 52||

yadā te moha-kalilaṁ buddhir vyatitariṣhyati
tadā gantāsi nirvedaṁ śhrotavyasya śhrutasya cha

Word by Word Meaning:
yadā – when;
te – your;
mohakalilam – mire of delusion;
buddhiḥ – intellect;
vyatitariṣyati – goes beyond;
tadā – then;
gantāsi – you shall attain;
nirvedam – dispassion;
śrotavyasya – towards what is yet to be heard;
śrutasya – towards what has been heard;
ca – and;

Explanation Ch 02 – śloka 52:
When man’s delusion is destroyed, he is able to see the difference between the real and the unreal, the world and the Self. The Self-Realised one views the matters of the world with indifference, having realised that these are just sources of misery.

Meaning Ch 02 – śloka 52:
When your intellect goes beyond the mire of delusion, then you shall attain dispassion towards what has been heard and what is yet to be heard.

Chapter 02 – śloka 53:
श्रुतिविप्रतिपन्ना ते यदा स्थास्यति निश्चला |
समाधावचला बुद्धिस्तदा योगमवाप्स्यसि || 53||

śhruti-vipratipannā te yadā sthāsyati niśhchalā
samādhāv-achalā buddhis tadā yogam avāpsyasi

Word by Word Meaning:
śruti vipratipannā – without being confused by listening (to various ends and means);
te – your;
yadā – when;
sthāsyati – remains;
niścalā – steady;
samādhau – in the Self;
acalā – firmly established;
buddhiḥ – intelligence;
tadā – then;
yogam – Self-Realisation;
avāpsyasi – shall attain;

Explanation Ch 02 – śloka 53:
The sādhaka’s relationship with God strengthens as he becomes self-illumined with the knowledge of the Truth. His indifference to material pursuits extends even to ritualistic worship taught by the vedas. This reflects his advanced spiritual state, the state of yoga he is immersed in.

Meaning Ch 02 – śloka 53:
When your intellect is no longer confused by listening to various ends and means (sections of vedas speaking of flowery results), and remains steady and firmly established in the Self, then you shall attain Self-Realisation.
