Arjuna said: O Keshava, what are the signs of one whose wisdom is steady, who is established in meditation? How does one of steady wisdom speak, sit, and walk?
Arjuna asks a brilliant practical question - how can we recognize enlightenment in daily life? What are the visible signs? This begins Krishna's beautiful description of the stable sage.
