Acharya Prashant continues the discussion on the characteristics of a 'Sthitaprajna' (a person of steady wisdom), referencing the 68th verse of the second chapter of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Sankhya Yoga. The verse states that a person whose senses are completely restrained from sense objects has an established intellect. The speaker notes that this point is being repeated for Arjun, and explains that this method of repetition is tremendously useful in Vedanta and all good spiritual scriptures. He argues that repetition is necessary because the mind is constantly under corrupting influences. Just as one bathes daily because the body gets dirty, one must read scriptures like the Gita daily to cleanse the mind. To read it once and claim to have finished it is not enough, as the adverse effects on the mind are continuous. He then discusses the subsequent verse, which states that what is night for all beings is a state of wakefulness for the self-controlled person, and what is day for ordinary beings is night for the self-realized sage. The speaker explains that what ordinary people consider consciousness is deep unconsciousness for the wise. What they call being awake, the wise know as deep sleep. What they call light, the wise know as darkness. This is because the entire life of an ordinary person, including their body, past, emotions, thoughts, and societal norms, is part of Prakriti (nature), which Vedanta considers to be darkness. Thus, an ordinary person's life is a journey from darkness to darkness. In contrast, the wise person is not driven by the body or nature; they are awake to something beyond. This 'beyondness' is spirituality and is what makes life worth living. The speaker clarifies that the wise person does not follow their own tendencies or societal customs but follows Krishna. He advises Arjun not to listen to his past, conditionings, emotions, or society, but to listen to Krishna, pick up the bow, and fight. The problem is that Arjun is listening to Prakriti. Everything that can be known, seen, or experienced is Prakriti. Beyond Prakriti, there is only one, who is called Krishna or the complete being (Purush).
