अक्षरब्रह्मयोगः | Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga
The Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman
सम्बन्ध--जिसने मन और इन्द्रियॉंसहित शरीरको जीत लिया है
jitātmanaḥ praśāntasya paramātmā samāhitaḥ | śītoṣṇa-sukha-duḥkheṣu tathā mānāpamānayoḥ ||
أمّا من قهر نفسه—فسكنت حياته الباطنة وانضبطت—فإنّ الذات العُليا (Paramātman) تثبت راسخة في وعيه. في البرد والحرّ، في اللذّة والألم، وكذلك في الشرف والمهانة، يبقى متّزنًا في داخله؛ فيقيم في اتحادٍ روحيّ ثابت، لا تجرّه تقلّبات الأحوال.

The verse teaches equanimity born of self-mastery: when one has subdued mind and senses and become inwardly tranquil, the Supreme Self is firmly realized/established; external opposites like pleasure–pain and honor–dishonor no longer disturb one’s inner steadiness.
In the Gītā’s teaching on yoga and self-discipline, Kṛṣṇa describes the mark of a self-controlled person. Arjuna is the interlocutor in the dialogue, and the instruction highlights the yogin’s stability amid the battlefield’s pressures and life’s changing conditions.
