Uitleg

The devotee is the same towards enemy and friend, the same in honour and dishonour, the same in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, and free from attachment. These pairs of opposites recall the description of the person of steady wisdom in chapter two and of the yogi in chapter six. The Gita's ideal remains consistent across different paths: evenness amid life's contrasts. The verse begins a sentence that is completed in the next one, which brings the portrait to a close.
