阿爾諸那說：「凱薩瓦啊，一位心智堅定、安住於三摩地（Samadhi）中的人，其特徵為何？這位心智堅定者如何言談？如何安坐？又如何行動？」
Arjuna said O kesava, what is the description of a man of steady wisdom who is Self-absorbed? How does the man of steady wisdom speak? How does he sit? How does he move about?
阿爾諸那向克里希那主請教，一位安住於自性（真我）並處於三摩地（Samadhi）狀態者的特徵，包括他如何言談、安坐與行動。本章第55至72節將描述這位心智堅定聖者的特徵，以及達到此種堅定自性知識的方法。堅定智慧是指透過直接證悟，對自身與梵（Brahman）同一性的確立認知。
Arjuna wants to know from Lord Krishna the characteristic marks of one who is established in the Self in Samadhi how he speaks? how he sits? how he moves about.The characteristic marks of the sage of steady wisdom and the means of attaining that steady knowledge of the Self are described in the verses from 55 to 72 of this chapter.Steady wisdom is settled knowledge of ones identity with Brahman attained by direct realisation. (Cf.XIV.21? 27).
