My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Arjuna said, "O Kesava! What is the meaning of sthita-prajna (a man-of-stabilized-intellect) when applied to a man fixed in concentration? What does sthira-dhih (the fixed-minded) imply? Where does the fixed-minded abide? And what is their goal?"

Shri Purohit Swami

Arjuna asked: My Lord! How can we recognise the saint who has attained Pure Intellect, who has reached this state of Bliss, and whose mind is steady? how does he talk, how does he live, and how does he act?

Swami Adidevananda

Arjuna said What is the mode of speech of him who is of firm wisdom, who is established in the control of the mind? What will a man of firm wisdom speaks, O Krsna? How does he sit? How does he move?

Swami Gambirananda

Arjuna said O kesava, what is the description of a man of steady wisdom who is Self-absorbed? How does the man of steady wisdom speak? How does he sit? How does he move about?

Swami Sivananda

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?
