Chapter 2 · Verse 54
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You should seek to understand the practical signs of a person who is firmly established in spiritual wisdom. By learning how an enlightened soul speaks, sits, and moves in the world, you gain a clear map for your own journey. This inquiry helps you recognize those who have conquered maya, the illusion of separateness, and live in constant divine connection.
Translation
2.54 Arjuna said What is the mode of speech of him who is of firm wisdom, who is established in the control of the mind? What will a man of firm wisdom speaks, O Krsna? How does he sit? How does he move?
Meaning
Arjuna wants to know from Lord Krishna the characteristic marks of one who is established in the Self in Samadhi how he speaks how he sits how he moves about.

Steady wisdom is settled knowledge of ones identity with Brahman attained by direct realisation. (Cf. XIV.21 27).
