II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तेथ अर्जुन म्हणे देवा I हाचि अभिप्रावो आघवा I मी पुसेन आता सांगावा I कृपानिधी II 285 II
मग अच्युत म्हणे सुखें I जें किरीटी तुज निकें  I तें पूस पां उन्मेखें I मनाचेनि II 286 II
या बोला पार्थें I म्हणितलें सांग पां श्रीकृष्णातें I काय म्हणिपे स्थितप्रज्ञातें I वोळखों केवीं II 287 II
आणि स्थिरबुद्धि जो म्हणिजे I तो कैसिया चिन्हीं जाणिजे I जो समाधिसुख भुंजे I अखंडित II 288 II
तो कवणें स्थिती असे I कैसेनि रूपीऔ विलसे I देवा सांगावें हें ऐसें I लक्ष्मीपती II 289 II
तंव परब्रम्हअवतरणु I जो षड्गुणाधिकरणु I तो काय तेथ नारायणु I बोलतु असे II 290 II

"Having listened to what Lord Krishna said Arjun asked, related to this I would like to know few things. Lord Krishna encouraged him to ask anything he wishes to know and satisfy his curiosity. Arjun said please tell me whom should we call a Sthitapradnya, a person who possesses a serene disposition and an almost effortless ability to maintain emotional equilibrium? How to identify such a person? How to know who has an unruffled state of being characterized by calmness, self-assurance, and poise? An illumined soul who realizes in his heart, through Samadhi (a state of total bliss and withdrawal from the outside world.) the Infinite Brahman which is something of the nature of Immutable Consciousness and a Pure Bliss. Please describe him in detail, about how he lives and how he appears to others. Having heard this Lord Krishna, the incarnation of the Supreme Lord Narayan endowed with six opulences, the divine & auspicious qualities: dnyan (knowledge), bala (strength), aishvarya (affluence), shakti (omnipotence), virya (creative potency) and tejas (splendor) began to speak."
