Explanation

The description grows. Having gained this state, the yogi considers no other gain greater. Established in it, he is not shaken even by heavy sorrow. The verse speaks to two human tendencies: always wanting something more, and being overthrown by misfortune. The yogi's state answers both. It is complete, so no further gain appears more valuable, and it is stable, so suffering does not uproot it. For Arjuna, overwhelmed by grief, this promise of a sorrow that cannot overthrow him has obvious force.
