“He who is the same in happiness and distress and is established in the Self; who looks equally upon a clod of earth, a stone, and a bar of gold; who is steady, regarding the pleasant and the unpleasant alike, and praise and blame alike; (24) who is the same in honor and dishonor, the same toward friends and enemies, and who has renounced all self-interested undertakings — such a person is said to have transcended the guas. (25)”
