Translation

A person who neither rejoices upon achieving something pleasant nor laments upon obtaining something unpleasant, who is self-intelligent, who is unbewildered, and who knows the science of God is already situated in transcendence.

Osoba koja se ne raduje kada stekne što ugodno niti jadikuje kada stekne što neugodno, čija je inteligencija utemeljena u jastvu, koja nije zbunjena i koja zna nauk o Bogu, već je utemeljena u transcendenciji.

Purport

The symptoms of the self-realized person are given herein. The first symptom is that he is not illusioned by the false identification of the body with his true self. He knows perfectly well that he is not this body but is the fragmental portion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is therefore not joyful in achieving something, nor does he lament in losing anything which is related to his body. This steadiness of mind is called sthira-buddhi, or self-intelligence. He is therefore never bewildered by mistaking the gross body for the soul, nor does he accept the body as permanent and disregard the existence of the soul. This knowledge elevates him to the station of knowing the complete science of the Absolute Truth, namely Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān. He thus knows his constitutional position perfectly well, without falsely trying to become one with the Supreme in all respects. This is called Brahman realization, or self-realization. Such steady consciousness is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

SMISAO: Ovdje su opisani simptomi samospoznate osobe. Prvi je simptom da nije obmanuta lažnim poistovjećivanjem tijela sa svojim pravim jastvom. Savršeno dobro zna da nije tijelo, već dio Svevišnje Božanske Osobe. Zato se ne raduje kada nešto stekne niti jadikuje kada izgubi nešto što je povezano s njezinim tijelom. Ta postojanost uma naziva se sthira-buddhi, inteligencija utemeljena u jastvu. Takva osoba nikada nije zbunjena pogrešnim shvaćanjem da je grubo tijelo duša, niti smatra tijelo vječnim, zanemarujući postojanje duše. To je znanje uzdiže do položaja poznavanja cjelokupna nauka o Apsolutnoj Istini, Brahmanu, Paramātmi i Bhagavānu. Savršeno dobro zna svoj prirodni položaj, pa ne pokušava lažno postati ravna Svevišnjem u svakom pogledu. To se naziva spoznaja Brahmana ili samospoznaja. Takva postojana svjesnost naziva se svjesnost Kṛṣṇe.
