श्री भगवानुवाच
प्रजहाति यदा कामान् सर्वान् पार्थ मनोगतान्।

Arjuna said, “O Kesava, what is the description of a man of steady wisdom who is self-absorbed? How does he speak, sit, and move about?”
The Blessed One said, “O Partha, when one fully renounces all the desires that have entered the mind and remains satisfied in the Self alone, then he is called a man of steady wisdom.”
That monk is called a man of steady wisdom when his mind is unperturbed even in sorrow, he is free from longing for delights, and has gone beyond attachment, fear, and anger.
The wisdom of that person remains established who has no attachment to anything anywhere, who neither welcomes nor rejects anything, whatever good or bad, when they come across it.
Osho’s Commentary
Arjuna now asks a very significant question. He wants to know the outer signs of an enlightened man. Krishna answers: The one whose mind is untroubled in sorrow, who is free from craving in pleasure, from whom passion, fear, and anger have departed—he is called a sage of steady wisdom. He who is without attachment on any side, who neither rejoices nor hates when he obtains good or evil—his wisdom is firmly set. The enlightened man is not one who does not experience pleasure or pain. He experiences them, but he is not disturbed by them. He remains a balanced, centered witness to the whole play of life. His inner peace is not dependent on outer circumstances.
