Who is the same in pleasure and pain, who dwells in the Self, to whom a clod of earth, stone and gold are alike, who is the same to the dear and the unfriendly, who is firm, and to whom censure and praise are as one.

who is the same in pain and pleasure, at home in the self, to whom a clod, a stone and gold are alike, who is even toward the pleasant and the unpleasant, steadfast, the same in blame and praise of oneself,

Krishna describes the evenness of such a person. They are the same in sorrow and joy, and svastha, established in themselves, a word that also means healthy. A lump of earth, a stone and a piece of gold look alike to them, not because they cannot tell them apart but because none of them grips the heart. They are even toward the pleasing and the displeasing, steady, and unmoved by blame or praise. Many of these phrases echo the descriptions of the person of steady wisdom earlier in the Gita, suggesting that the ideal is one, described from different sides.
