Explication

Arjuna asks a practical question that opens the final section of the chapter. How is the sthitaprajña, the person of steady wisdom established in concentration, to be recognised? How does such a person speak, sit and move? He wants to know what inner steadiness looks like in daily life. Krishna's answer, running to the end of the chapter, becomes one of the Gita's most loved descriptions of the ideal person, and it is often recited on its own.
