Chapter 14
If he has to divide a thing, between two—one, who regards him as a friend and the other, who regards him as an enemy, he gives a bit less to the former, than to the latter, because he is generous to the latter, even in judgement. This is also, equanimity or even-mindedness.
Sarvarambhaparityagi:- He abandons all new undertakings for pleasure and prosperity. He performs actions, according to circumstances, being free from feelings of egoism, attachment, having no desire for their fruit, and abandons these, without having any desire for praise and honour etc.
Gunatitah sa ueyate:- Such a person, is said to have risen above, the three gunas (modes of nature).
In fact, the person, who has transcended the three modes of nature, cannot, have any marks. Marks vest in the modes of prakrti or in prakrti. How can he, who has marks, transcend gums? Arjuna, has inquired of the marks, of such a person. The Lord has described those marks. In fact, these are marks of his so-called inner sense, and body. These marks, are only hints about such a person. They cannot describe him. The modes, are the evolutes of nature, while a body. senses, mind and intellect, are the evolutes of modes. So the senses, mind and intellect cannot even, fully describe the modes which are, their cause. How can these describe prakrti, the cause of modes? Then, how is it possible for these to describe the one, who has transcended the modes?
