Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]For the self-restrained man, the sense-objects recede, but the taste for them remains. Even this taste disappears for one who has seen the Supreme.
BG 2.59
विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः । रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते ॥
viṣayā vinivartante nirāhārasya dehinaḥ | rasa-varjaṃ raso 'py asya paraṃ dṛṣṭvā nivartate ||
"Discipline removes the object but longing persists. Only direct experience of the Supreme removes the longing itself."

[7]Objects of sense-desire, even the hankering Fade, when the Spirit hath its fill of bliss, Have they not 'fled,' yet taste of them remains: Only God seen, all longing dies.

[9]The objects of sense fall off from the abstemious man, but not so the longing for them; but even the longing falls off from him when he has seen the Supreme.
