Explanation
Krishna names non-attachment and freedom from clinging to children, spouse, house and similar ties. He adds an even mind in the face of both welcome and unwelcome events. The mention of family is significant, since Arjuna's crisis arose from his attachment to kin. The verse does not ask him to stop caring for family; the word used, anabhiṣvaṅga, suggests not being entangled or absorbed. Love without possessive clinging is the ideal. The evenness of mind recalls the earlier teaching on staying the same in success and failure.
