NORAD BG 2.64

 The idea of “no rāga, no dveṣa” (no attachment and no aversion) appears clearly in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 64.

Bhagavad Gita 2.64

Sanskrit:

रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन् ।

आत्मवश्यैर्विधेयात्मा प्रसादमधिगच्छति ॥

Transliteration:

rāga-dveṣa-viyuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś caran

ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati

Meaning:

One who moves among sense objects free from attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveṣa), with senses controlled and self-disciplined, attains inner peace (prasāda).

Key Idea 🪷

• Rāga = attachment, craving, liking
• Dveṣa = aversion, hatred, dislike
• The Gita teaches equanimity: engaging with the world without emotional bondage to likes and dislikes.

Related Verse

Another verse that mentions this directly is Bhagavad Gita 3.34:

इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ

(For each sense and its objects, attachment and aversion naturally exist…)

But it advises not to come under their control.

✅ Summary:

The clearest “no rāga–no dveṣa” teaching is Bhagavad Gita 2.64.

If you want, I can also show:

• the most quoted “equanimity” shloka (2.48)
• or the one that says a yogi is equal in pleasure and pain (2.38). These are closely connected to the same idea. 🧘‍♂️
