Explanation
The portrait of the steady person draws to a close. One who gives up all desires and moves through life free of longing, without the sense of mine (nirmama) and without ego (nirahaṅkāra), attains peace (śānti). Possessiveness and ego are named as the deepest roots of disturbance. When they fall away, peace follows naturally. The verse gathers the teaching of the previous lines into one simple description and answers Arjuna's question about how such a person moves through the world.
