Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-2 Sankhya Yogaḥ

The Lord now explains the purpose of this endurance: yaṁ hi na vyathayantyete puruṣaṁ puruṣarṣabha | sama duḥkha sukhaṁ dhīraṁ so’mṛtatvāya kalpate || 15 || 15. One who is unaffected by these, O chief of men, and to whom pain and pleasure are the same, that steadfast person alone is worthy of immortality. Commentary That person alone attains liberation, who, considers pain as inevitable as pleasure, and who engages in Duty without attachment to the results, and who is unperturbed by the blows of weapons which may be light or serious. A person like you, who cannot cope with grief will not obtain liberation. As the jīvas are immortal, what is to be done here, is to transcend the pairs of opposites — this is the meaning.
