Bhagavad Gita - II 55

A man of steady intellect

Sri Bhagavan Uvacha
Prajahathi Yada Kaman Sarvan Partha Manogathan|
Athmanyevathmana Tushtaha Sthithapragnyasthadochyate||


Dear Partha, when someone abandons all the desires of the mind and is satisfied in just being with the atman, that person is called a Sthitha Pragnya. Desires in different directions disturb the mind and make it unsteady. A Sthitha Pragnya is one whose mind is totally contained without going in the different directions of individual desires. Such a person has a steady mind called Sthitha Pragnya. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
