The Blessed Lord said, "When a man completely casts off, O Arjuna, all the desires of the mind and is satisfied in the Self by the Self, then he is said to be one of steady wisdom."

श्री भगवान् ने कहा -- हे पार्थ? जिस समय पुरुष मन में स्थित सब कामनाओं को त्याग देता है और आत्मा से ही आत्मा में सन्तुष्ट रहता है? उस समय वह स्थितप्रज्ञ कहलाता है।।
