Bhagavad Gita - II - 54

Arjuna's question

Sthitha Pragnyasya Ka Bhasha Samadhistasya Keshava|
Sthitha Dheehi Kim Prabhashetha Kimaseetha Vrajetha Kim||

India prides itself today on many of its ancient discoveries - the concept of zero, the science of flying airplanes - Vaimanika Shastram etc. But the greatest discovery it offers to the world is this knowledge of the self, through the words of the Bhagavad Gita and other books.
Arjuna asks Sri Krishna, "What is the description of a person of steady wisdom or an illumined mind? What is the nature of his steady intellect? A man with rooted intellect - how does he speak? How does he sit and walk?
Arjuna here asks Krishna to give the gross details of a man of steady wisdom - such as appearance, body language, speech and thought patterns. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
