Chapter II: Sankhya Yoga

(Krishna speaking to Arjuna)
II.56. He whose mind is not shaken by adversity, who does not 
hanker after pleasures, and is free from attachement, fear and 
anger, is called a sage of steady wisdom.
COMMENTARY: Lord Krishna gives His answer to the second part of 
Arjuna's question as to the conduct of a sage of steady wisdom in 
the 56th, 57th and 58th verses.
      The mind of a sage of steady wisdom is not distressed in 
calamities.  He is not affected by the three afflictions
('Taapas') -- 'Adhyatmika' (arising from diseases or disorders in 
one's own body), 'Adhidaivika' (arising from thunder, lightning, 
storm, flood, etc.), and 'Adhibhautika (arising from scorpions, 
cobras, tigers, etc.). When he is placed in an afluent condition 
he does not long for sensual pleasures.
