世尊說：「波陀啊，當一個人完全捨棄心中所有欲念，並唯獨以自性（真我）滿足於自性時，他便被稱為心智堅定者。」
The Blessed said O Partha, when one fully renounces all the desires that have entered the mind, and remains satisfied in the Self alone by the Self, then he is called a man of steady wisdom.
在此節中，克里希那主回答了阿爾諸那問題的第一部分。如果一個人能獲得自性（真我）的至高喜樂，他還會渴求感官享樂嗎？當然不會。對於一位滿足於自性、心智堅定的聖者而言，世間所有享樂的總和都將顯得毫無價值。
In this verse Lord Krishna gives His answer to the first part of Arjunas estion.If anyone gets sugarcandy will he crave for blacksugar Certainly not. If anyone can attain the supreme bliss of the Self? will he thirst for the sensual pleasures No? not at all. The sumtotal of all the pleasures of the world will seem worthless for the sage of steady wisdom who is satisfied in the Self. (Cf.III.17VI.7?8).
