Chapter 2: Transcendental Knowledgeसांख्ययोग
2:55
“The Supreme Lord said: O Partha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness.”
Sanskrit
श्रीभगवानुवाच | प्रजहाति यदा कामान्सर्वान्पार्थ मनोगतान् | आत्मन्येवात्मना तुष्टः स्थितप्रज्ञस्तदोच्यते ||

Commentary
The enlightened person has abandoned all mental desires and finds complete satisfaction within. This self-sufficiency, independent of external objects, is the hallmark of steady wisdom.
