Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 2 · The Sthitaprajna

How Steady Is Your Mind?

In Chapter 2, Arjuna asks Krishna: what does a person of steady wisdom look like? Krishna's answer — spanning 18 verses — is the Gita's most precise portrait of an awakened mind. This inquiry reveals where your mind stands on that spectrum right now, honestly and without judgment.

The Four Stages of Mind
  • The Stirred Mind — Agitated by desire, aversion, and emotional turbulence. The starting point for most of us.
  • The Striving Mind — Aware and aspiring, but not yet anchored. Seeking steadiness, still pulled by waves.
  • The Steady Mind — Growing in equanimity and self-mastery. Less reactive, more rooted.
  • Sthitaprajna — Established in wisdom. Unmoved by sorrow, unattached to joy. The state Krishna describes.
