Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 56
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 56

दुःखेष्वनुद्विग्नमनाः सुखेषु विगतस्पृहः।
वीतरागभयक्रोधः स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते।।2.56।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 2.56)
।।2.56।।दुःखोंकी प्राप्ति होनेपर जिसके मनमें उद्वेग नहीं होता और सुखोंकी प्राप्ति होनेपर जिसके मनमें स्पृहा नहीं होती तथा जो राग भय और क्रोधसे सर्वथा रहित हो गया है वह मननशील मनुष्य स्थिरबुद्धि कहा जाता है।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The Supreme Lord Krishna continuing the answer  to  the  first  question  of
verse 54 states that: He who  is  unperturbed,  who  is  free  from  desires
though amidst pleasures is not agitated even  upon  being  put  into  misery
because there is the absence of any attachment, affection,  fear  or  anger.
Thus by being devoid of all these characteristics one can be  understood  to
be a person of steady wisdom.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna gives an expansion of this in the next three verses. For  those
situated in wisdom these instructions are essential  being  the  means.   It
has been declared that  whatever  instructions  have  been  recommended  for
those  seeking   advancement,   these   selfsame   instructions   are   seen
distinctively in  the  actions  of  those  situated  in  wisdom.  To  assume
erroneously  that  something  is  pleasant  then  it  becomes  a  source  of
attachment. Rasa sentiment, raga attachment and rakti beauty are said to  be
erroneous assumptions.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

To be free from an agitated mind is not to become aggrieved when  situations
arise of impending affliction and difficulty or  bereavement  for  something
cherished and lost. To not be  elated  in  happiness  is  to  remain  in  an
unattached and passive state even when joyous events occur.  Desire  is  the
longing for things not obtained. One must learn to be free from  this.  Fear
is worrying for prospective sorrow which may be  caused  by  bereavement  of
what is cherished and the projection of the coming of unwanted  things.  One
must learn to be free from this. Anger is that disturbed state of  mind  and
irritated feelings produced of pain  from  others  causing  separation  from
what is cherished or giving the experience  of  things  not  cherished.  One
must learn to be free from this. Such a being is a muni or one  of  profound
contemplation on the soul. This being is known as sthita-prajna situated  in
perfect knowledge of transcendental consciousness.  Lord  Krishna  describes
the next lower stage in the next verse.
