Oh leader among men! for that man who is neutral towards contacts with such pleasures\/pains and being bold and whose mental strength is not disturbed, that man only will be qualified to be liberated.<\/p>\n That bold[1. Bold means sagacious, wise.] man, O man-chief, who looks on pain as equal with pleasure, and whom, these (\u2018colds and heats\u2019) cannot molest, is verily made for immortality[2. Such a man of trained will is ‘dear to me’, says K\u1e5bish\u1e47a (vide XII-18-19).]!<\/span><\/p>\n Be it mild or acute, no arrow-hits can torment a person of courage, – one who is able to look upon an inevitable pain as equal to pleasure. That is the person to whom the discharge of duties, incumbent on his status (caste, occupation, etc.) in society, – such as engaging in war (for a Kshatriya)- without anticipating any benefits therefrom – paves the way to immortality. Such a person wins immortality, Arjuna! not you who cannot suffer pain. That conduct (or character) i.e. bearing (up, or patient suffering without complaint) is a necessary sign of the eternality of \u0101tm\u0101s<\/em> (souls).<\/span><\/p>\n Whether it be the eternality of \u0101tm\u0101s<\/em>, or the decaying character of the bodies that is regarded, it has been shown by verse: viz<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018The wise, grieve not either as respects bodies, or as respects \u0101tm\u0101s<\/em>, etc.\u2019, (Bh: Gi: II-11)<\/span><\/p>\n that no cause, in any case, exists for regret.<\/span><\/p>\n This subject will now be expanded:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 16<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 2 << Chapter 2 verse 14 SlOkam \u2013 Original yam hi na vyathayanthi EthE purusham purusharshabha | samadhu:kha sukham dhIram sO \u2019mruthathvAya kalpathE || word-by-word meaning purusharshabha – Oh leader among men!
