Verse 2.56
Verse 2.56: “With a mind undejected in the midst of sorrows, and immune from cravings in the midst of joys—he from whom passion, fear, and anger have fled away—he is said to be the man of perfectly-poised Discernment: a Sage. (294)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
One whose mind remains undejected in the midst of diverse sorrows and who never gets entangled in the craving for pleasures, in such a man there hardly remains any passion and wrath and he never knows any fear, his mind being ever full with the bliss of the Self. One ever remaining in such a state is Sthitaprajna. Such a right-thinking man abides with no diversity, having overcome all mundane difficulties.
