Shloka 7
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 ||
Bagi insan yang telah menaklukkan diri—yang batinnya tenang dan terdidik dengan disiplin—Diri Tertinggi (Paramātman) teguh bersemayam dalam pengetahuannya. Dalam dingin dan panas, dalam nikmat dan derita, demikian juga dalam kehormatan dan kehinaan, dia tetap seimbang di dalam; lalu berdiam dalam penyatuan rohani yang mantap, bukan digerakkan oleh keadaan.

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.
