SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 5 Text 20
na prahrsyet priyam prapya
nodvijet prapya capriyam
sthira-buddhir asammudho
brahma-vid brahmani sthitah

na--never; prahrsyet--rejoices; priyam--the pleasant; prapya--achieving; na--does not; udvijet--become agitated; prapya--obtaining; ca--also; apriyam--the unpleasant; sthira-buddhih--self-intelligent; asammudhah--unbewildered; brahma-vit--one who knows the Supreme perfectly; brahmani--in the transcendence; sthitah--situated.

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.
