Chapter 2 · Verse 57
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You are being guided to cultivate a state of loving detachment toward everything in this world. When you stop swinging between excitement over good fortune and hatred toward bad situations, your mind becomes truly stable. This evenness is a sign of deep jnana, or spiritual wisdom, showing that you are fully anchored in the eternal Divine rather than temporary circumstances.
Translation
2.57 He who has no love on any side, who when he finds good or evil, neither rejoices nor hates - his wisdom is firmly set.
Meaning
The sage possesses poised understanding or evenness of mind. He does not rejoice in pleasure nor is he averse to pain that may befall him. He is ite indifferent as he is rooted in the Self. He has no attachment even for his life or body as he identifies himself with Brahman or the Supreme Self. He will not praise anybody when the latter does any good to him nor censure anyone when one does him any harm. This is the answer given by the Lord to Arjunas ery How does a sage of steady wisdom talk
Word by word
यः he who सर्वत्र everywhere अनभिस्नेहः without attachment तत् that तत् that प्राप्य having obtained शुभाशुभम् good and evil न not अभिनन्दति rejoices न not द्वेष्टि hates तस्य of him प्रज्ञा wisdom प्रतिष्ठिता is fixed.
