Bhagavad Gita 2.56
दुःखेष्वनुद्विग्नमनाः सुखेषु विगतस्पृहः। वीतरागभयक्रोधः स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते॥
duḥkheṣhv-anudvigna-manāḥ sukheṣhu vigata-spṛihaḥ vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhaḥ sthita-dhīr munir uchyate
Translation
He whose mind is free from anxiety amid pains, indifferent amid pleasures, loosed from passion, fear and anger, is called a sage of stable mind.
What it means
Unanxious in sorrow, unthirsting in pleasure, free of passion, fear and anger: such a sage is steady-minded. Steadiness is tested at the extremes, in grief and in delight alike.
Try this today
Stability defined across all three directions of disturbance: sorrow, thrill, provocation.
Something to reflect on
Which of the three - sorrow, excitement, provocation - most easily unseats me?
