Sankhya Yoga
54. Arjuna said: What are the characteristics of the man established in awareness, firmly established in wisdom, and who is equanimous in his intellect, O Krishna? How does he speak being established in awareness? How does he rest or how does he move about?
Bhashya :- He whose awareness is firmly is established is one who is settled in consciousness. क means Brahma and ईश means Rudra, since he is the source of both Sri Vishnu is called Keshava, thus explained in Harivamsha, when describing Rudra's travel to Kailas. Hiranyagarbha is क, the golden wombed, ईश is Shankara and you, as the ordainer of the Creation etc. the Lord Keshava also by such another statement.किमासीत means, किं प्रत्यासीत how or for what purpose does he rest? It is not that Arjuna is not aware of these characteristics even as earlier kings and similarly Gods and seers. Even though they knew, they used to enquire about धर्म-, the Perennial Principles and matters which are mystical and secret. These secret mysteries are not understandable by people of little intelligence, thus having spoken..
Tatparya Nirnaya :- What is the manner of his speech, how does he speak and with what attributes of the one with equanimity of intellect and without contradictory intellect.
