STHITAPRAGYA


Chapter II: Sankhya Yoga

Arjuna said(to Krishna):
II.54. What, O Krishna, is the description of him who has steady 
wisdom, and is merged in the superconscious state?  How does one 
of steady wisdom speak, how does he sit, how does he walk?
COMMENTARY: Arjuna wants to know from Lord Krishna the 
characteristic marks of one who is established in the Self in 
Samadhi; how he speaks, how he sits, how he moves about.
    The characteristic marks of the sage of steady wisdom and the 
means of attaining that steady knowledge of the Self are described 
in the verses from 55 to 72 of this chapter.
    Steady wisdom is settled knowledge of one's identity with 
Brahman attained by direct realisation.
