Explicación

Krishna describes the knower of Brahman in terms close to the second chapter's portrait of the person of steady wisdom. Such a person does not leap with joy at what is pleasant, nor recoil at what is unpleasant. His understanding (buddhi) is steady and free from delusion. He is established in Brahman. The verse shows that the highest knowledge has visible effects in daily life. It is not only a vision but a way of meeting whatever comes with an even and undisturbed mind.
