1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 64
Lord Badrinath
Raga dvesha viyuktaistu  vishayaan indriyaih charan I
Atma vashahaih  vidheyatma prasadam adhigachati II sloka 64
राग द्वेष  वियुक्तैस्तु विषयान् इन्द्रियैः चरन ।
आत्म वशहैः विधेयात्मा प्रसादं अधिगछति ।। श्लोक ६४ 

But he goes through the sense objects with the senses free from love and hate, disciplined  and controlled, attains serenity.

Having focussed in the way already described, the mind on Me - the Lord of all and the auspicious object of meditation, he who goes through ie., considers with contempt the sense objects, with senses under control and free from hate and attraction by reason of all impurities  of mind being burnt out - such a person has a disciplined self, ie., disciplined mind. He attains serenity. The meaning is that his mind will be free of impurities.
