Chapter 14: Three Modes of Natureगुणत्रयविभागयोग
14:24
“Equal in pain and pleasure, self-contained, to whom a clod, a stone, and gold are the same, equal toward the pleasant and unpleasant, wise, equal in blame and self-praise—”
Sanskrit
समदुःखसुखः स्वस्थः समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चनः | तुल्यप्रियाप्रियो धीरस्तुल्यनिन्दात्मसंस्तुतिः ||
Transliteration
sama-duḥkha-sukhaḥ sva-sthaḥ sama-loṣṭāśma-kāñcanaḥ tulya-priyāpriyo dhīras tulya-nindātma-saṁstutiḥ
Commentary
The transcended one maintains equanimity in pleasure and pain, is self-sufficient, values dirt, stone, and gold equally, treats the agreeable and disagreeable alike, and is unmoved by criticism or praise.
