| When your intellect, that is
confused by the
conflicting opinions and the ritualistic doctrine of the Vedas, shall stay steady and
firm with the Self, then you shall attain Self-realization. (2.53)
Arjuna said: O Krishna, what is the mark of a person
whose Prajna is steady and merged in superconscious state? How does a
person of steady Prajna speak? How
does such a person sit and walk? (2.54)
Prajna means consciousness, mind, intellect, judgment,
discrimination, and wisdom. The Supreme Lord said: When one is completely free
from all desires of the mind and is satisfied in the Self
by the (joy of) Self, then one is called a person of steady Prajna, O Arjuna. (2.55)
A person whose mind is unperturbed by sorrow, who
does not crave pleasures, and who is free from attachment, fear, and anger; such a person is called a sage of
steady Prajna. (2.56) |
