Prajahati yada kaman sarvan partha manogatan I
Atmanyevatman tushtah sthitapragyah tada uchyate II sloka 55
श्री भगवान उवाच
प्रजहाति यदा कामान् सर्वान पार्थ मनोगतान ।
आत्मन्येवात्मना तुष्टः स्थितप्रज्ञः तदा उच्यते ।। श्लोक ५५
The Lord said
When a man renounces, all the desires of the mind, O Arjuna, when he is satisfied in himself, with himself, then he is said to be of firm wisdom.
When a person is satisfied in himself with himself, ie., when his mind depends on the self within himself; and being content with that, expels all the desires of the mind which are different from that state of mind - then he is said to be a man of firm wisdom. This is the highest form of devotion to knowledge.
