Commentary (टीका)
The Sloka 2.71 from the Bhagavad Gita describes the nature and state of a person who has attained wisdom and established themselves in steady wisdom (*sthitaprajña*). Such a person abandons all desires (*kāma*) and is free from longing (*niḥspṛhaḥ*), devoid of the sense of possessiveness (*nirmamaḥ*), and without ego or pride (*nirahaṅkāraḥ*). This state leads them to true peace (*śānti*).
In Swami Sivananda's English commentary, it is highlighted that a person who is free from desires and ego, living with minimal necessities without attachment, attains eternal peace, or Moksha. This renunciation is not just of material desires but also of the subtle sense of 'I' and 'mine'.
Swami Ramsukhdas in his Hindi commentary explains that 'desire' is for things not obtained, and a *sthitaprajña* gives up not only desires but even longing for the bare necessities required for body maintenance. Reduction in attachment is emphasized through removing layers of desires, affections, and ego. The ultimate goal is realizing the self's association with the wider universe rather than attachment to personal identity (ego and possessiveness).
Proper understanding and practice of letting go of these attachments and ego-centric behaviors lead one to self-realization and inner peace.
