Translation
He who, through the likeness of the Self, O Arjuna, sees reality everywhere, be it pleasure or pain, is regarded as the highest Yogi.
Hindi translation
हे अर्जुन ! जो (ध्यानयुक्त ज्ञानी महापुरुष) अपने शरीरकी उपमासे सब जगह अपनेको समान देखता है और सुख अथवा दुःखको भी समान देखता है, वह परम योगी माना गया है।
Meaning
He sees that whatever is pleasure or pain to himself is also pleasure or pain to all other beings. He does not harm anyone. He is ite harmless. He wishes good to all. He is compassionate to all creatures. He has a very soft and large heart. He sees thus equality everywhere as he is endowed with the right knowlede of the Self, as he beholds the Self only everywhere, and as he is established in the unity of the Self. Therefore he is considered as the highest among all Yogis. (Cf.VI.47)
