न प्रहृष्येत्प्रियं प्राप्य नोद्विजेत्प्राप्य चाप्रियम् । स्थिरबुद्धिरसम्मूढो ब्रह्मविद् ब्रह्मणि स्थितः ॥ २० ॥
na prahṛiṣhyet priyaṁ prāpya nodvijet prāpya chāpriyam sthira-buddhir asammūḍho brahma-vid brahmaṇi sthitaḥ
Translation
One who does not rejoice on obtaining what is pleasant, nor is shaken on meeting what is unpleasant, steady in understanding and undeluded, is a knower of Brahman established in Brahman.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जो प्रिय को प्राप्त होकर हर्षित नहीं होता और अप्रिय को प्राप्त होकर उद्विग्न नहीं होता, वह स्थिर बुद्धि वाला, संशय-रहित ब्रह्मवेत्ता पुरुष ब्रह्म में स्थित है।
Commentary
This repeats the portrait of the sthita-prajña from chapter 2 in new words. The knower of Brahman is recognised not by claims or robes but by steadiness in pleasant and unpleasant experiences.
