Arjuna asked: Krishna, What is the sign of the man having stable  mind and established in Samadhi (perfect tranquility of mind) ? whose intelligence is firmly fixed in wisdom?  How does the man of stable mind speak, how does he sit, how does he walk?. (2-54)

 He whose mind is undisturbed, is said to have steady wisdom if he completely frees himself from desires of the mind. The yogi of stable mind gives up all cravings of the mind, withdrawn and satisfied in himself (2.55).

He is not afraid of adversity, nor does he crave for happiness. He whose mind is unaffected by misery or pleasure and is free from all bonds and attachments, fear and anger, is man, of steady wisdom and decisive intellect. (2-56)

A man has a decisive intellect, who is no longer attached to anything, showing pleasure if something pleasant happens and displeasure if something unpleasant occurs. (2-57)

Just as a tortoise withdraws or retreats its limbs into its shell, a person with a firm mind and decisive intellect can withdraw his senses from sensual objects. (2-58)

One who does not use his senses for the enjoyment of sensual objects can overcome and rise above sensual objects. However, he is not able to leave off the attachment to his senses. One who realizes God or the Supreme, gets rid of attachments to the senses as well. (2-59)

Even those who are wise and are striving to achieve spiritual happiness and freedom are carried away violently or with great force by their excited senses. (2-60)

A perfect-Master is one who has complete control over his sense-appetites. They have complete control of their senses and therefore they have also earned the power of constant wisdom. Their minds are constantly focused and concentrated on meditation. the Supreme Goal.(2-61)

LEARNING ABOUT MAN-OF-STEADY-WISDOM

Krishna discusses the characteristics of the stitha-prajna, the person of stable temper.

• Stable temper (Stitha-prajana) person’s conversation is joy to the ears; that he speaks the truth yet does not hurt anyone’s feelings. The stithaprajna is stable: he is not prey to random gusts of passion but sticks to righteous behavior, having overcome all desires.
• At the same time, he does not surrender himself to inertia or inactivity but throws himself into action;
• he is not driven by the psychological burden of the goal, but rather by the imperative of effort.
• Since he is without desire, he is neither shattered by failure nor elated by success.
• To him, victory and defeat, pleasure and pain, honour and dishonour, friend and enemy are all alike -he judges himself, not by the fickle opinions of others, but by whether or not he has fulfilled his dharma, the ethical path that he has laid down for himself.

The Gita says that happiness runs away from one who desires it; happiness runs after him, who wants nothing.
