Sthitaprajna (sthita = steady, prajna = wisdom) means "one whose wisdom is firmly established." In Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita (verses 54-72), Krishna describes this ideal person in response to Arjuna's question: "What are the signs of a person of steady wisdom?" The Sthitaprajna is satisfied within, undisturbed by sorrow, unattached to pleasure, free from fear and anger, and able to withdraw the senses at will like a tortoise withdrawing its limbs. This passage is considered one of the Gita's greatest contributions to Indian philosophy and practical psychology.
