jitātmanaḥ praśhāntasya paramātmā samāhitaḥ
śhītoṣhṇa-sukha-duḥkheṣhu tathā mānāpamānayoḥ||7||

Meaning : For the person who has mastered the mind (jitātmanaḥ) and attained inner peace (praśāntasya), the Paramātmā—the Supreme Self—is not just a concept but a living presence within. This person experiences divine union; the soul rests in harmony with the Supreme. Such a yogi is unshaken by the dualities of the material world: Heat and cold – representing physical comfort or discomfort, external conditions. Pleasure and pain – emotional or mental states arising from life’s situations. Honor and dishonor – social praise or criticism, respect or disrespect. These opposites do not disturb the inner balance of the person who is established in the Self. They see all experiences with equanimity, not reacting based on ego or desire, but staying rooted in spiritual awareness.
