Chapter 2, v. 54

Arjuna asks Lord Krishna about the description of a sage of awakened, steady knowledge who is immersed in Samadhi. Lord Krishna explains that this state is a permanent change in the mental field that enables one to remain aware of ultimate reality, even in the midst of worldly activity. The verse challenges us to reflect on how our own consciousness is revealed in our words, actions, and way of being in the world.
