<div class="verse">
:yaṁ hi na vyathayanty ete
:puruṣaṁ puruṣarṣabha
:sama-duḥkha-sukhaṁ dhīraṁ
:so 'mṛtatvāya kalpate
</div>

==== SYNONYMS ====

<div class="synonyms">
''yam''—one who; ''hi''—certainly; ''na''—never; ''vyathayanti''—are distressing; ''ete''—all these; ''puruṣam''—to a person; ''puruṣarṣabha''—is best among men; ''sama''—unaltered; ''duḥkha''—distress; ''sukham''—happiness; ''dhīram''—patient; ''saḥ''—he; ''amṛtatvāya''—for liberation; ''kalpate''—is considered eligible.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation. In the ''varṇāśrama'' institution, the fourth stage of life, namely the renounced order (''sannyāsa'') is a painstaking situation. But one who is serious about making his life perfect surely adopts the ''sannyāsa'' order of life in spite of all difficulties. The difficulties usually arise from having to sever family relationships, to give up the connection of wife and children. But if anyone is able to tolerate such difficulties, surely his path to spiritual realization is complete. Similarly, in Arjuna's discharge of duties as a ''kṣatriya'', he is advised to persevere, even if it is difficult to fight with his family members or similarly beloved persons. Lord Caitanya took ''sannyāsa'' at the age of twenty-four, and His dependants, young wife as well as old mother, had no one else to look after them. Yet for a higher cause He took ''sannyāsa'' and was steady in the discharge of higher duties. That is the way of achieving liberation from material bondage.
