Karma-Yoga, Jñāna-Yajña, and Avatāra Instruction
यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुष पुरुषर्षभ । समदुःखसुखं धीरं सो$मृतत्वाय कल्पते
yaṁ hi na vyathayanty ete puruṣa puruṣarṣabha | samaduḥkhasukhaṁ dhīraṁ so ’mṛtatvāya kalpate ||
サンジャヤは言った。「人中の最勝よ、これらの接触—感官と対象との触れ合い—に乱されず、苦と楽において等しく心を保つ堅忍の人は、不死、すなわち解脱にふさわしくなる。」

Educational Q&A
A person who is not shaken by sense-experiences and who maintains equanimity in pleasure and pain is spiritually mature and becomes qualified for liberation (amṛtatva/mokṣa).
In the discourse narrated by Sanjaya, a teaching is being stated about inner steadiness: amid the pressures of experience (especially relevant in the war setting), the ideal person remains undisturbed and thus becomes fit for the highest goal.
