Na prahrisyet priyam prapya nodvijet prapya capriyam, sthira-buddhir asammudho brahma-vid brahmani sthitah

One who is not elated upon receiving the pleasant and not disturbed upon receiving the unpleasant, with steady intellect and undeluded — such a knower of Brahman is established in Brahman. Emotional equanimity in both pleasure and pain is the sign of the Brahman-knower.

  • The Brahman-knower is not swayed by pleasant or unpleasant events
  • Steady intellect and freedom from delusion mark the realized person
  • Establishment in Brahman transcends all emotional fluctuation
