अर्जुन उवाच |
स्थितप्रज्ञस्य का भाषा समाधिस्थस्य केशव |
स्थितधी: किं प्रभाषेत किमासीत व्रजेत किम् || 54||

Arjun said: O Keshav, what are the signs of one properly situated in perfect knowledge? of one who is absorbed in pure spiritual consciousness? How does that person who is steadfast in this consciousness talk? How does he sit? How does he walk?

Bhagavad-Gita-Chp-2-Verse-54-Shloka-HBR-Patel

In the previous shloka, Bhagwan Shri Krishan explains to Arjuna about the state of the equanimity. The person who is steadfast in the higher consciousness and unmoved by material allurements is said to have attained the Yoga and listening to this Arjuna becomes curious of such being.

He desires to know the characteristic of such a person who is self-realized in higher or transcendental consciousness and that is the reason Arjuna asks Bhagwan Shri Krishna about what is the definition of a person whose spiritual intelligence by nature resides in transcendence and is steady in wisdom?

What characteristics are possessed by such an individual who has attained the state of equanimity? Arjuna is curious to know about that along with how does such a person of higher consciousness conducts themselves? How do they talk, walk and sit? Arjuna is curious to know about that.
