स्थिरबुद्धिरसम्मूढो ब्रह्मविद् ब्रह्मणि स्थित: ||20||
One who is steady-minded, unaffected by pain and pleasure, who does not rejoice or despair, is said to be established in Brahman.
- Brahma-Vid: Knower of Brahman or Supreme truth.
- Sthira-Buddhi: One of steady intelligence.
Krishna elaborates on the yogi’s steady mind, free from worldly elation or despair. This balanced outlook, unshaken by external forces, is presented as the hallmark of enlightenment, a state that transcends dualities.
