Arjuna asked Krishna what a steady person was like.
“How does a person who is in a state of samadhi conduct himself? How does he speak, how does he sit? 2: 54
Bhagwan said,
“Partha, a sthitapragnya is one who has given up all the desires of his mind and he delights in his Self by his Self.” 2: 55
“A muni, who is unagitated by sorrow and untouched by comfort, who is beyond attachment (raaga), fear and anger, is said to be of steady intelligence (sthitadhI)” 2: 56
“His consciousness is said to be stable, who does not celebrate good (s’ubha) nor despise bad (as’ubha), and is detached everywhere.” 2: 57
“His consciousness is said to be stable, who withdraws his senses from perceptions as a turtle withdraws its limbs!” 2: 58
“His taste for perceptions enjoyable by senses falls away, having seen the ultimate (the beyond), whereas those who starve the senses, retain the taste for perceptions” 2 : 59
“Even though an enlightened person makes an effort, his senses carry his manas away by force” 2:60
“His consciousness is said to be stable, whose senses are under his control, and who having controlled his senses has engaged in Me” 2: 61
