The Yogin whose self is satisfied with knowledge and wisdom, who remains unshaken, who has conquered the senses, he is said to be a saint,—for whom a lump of earth, a stone and gold are equal.
Read the commentary
When the Yogin is satisfied with knowledge (jnana) of things as taught in the scriptures, and with wisdom (vijnana), i.e., with the realisation (in his own experience) of the things so taught—then he is said to be a saint (yukta), he is said to have attained samadhi or steadfastness of mind.
