Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5, Verse 19
इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः | निर्दोषं हि समं ब्रह्म तस्माद्ब्रह्मणि ते स्थिताः ||
ihaiva tair jitaḥ sargo yeṣāṁ sāmye sthitaṁ manaḥ nirdoṣaṁ hi samaṁ brahma tasmād brahmaṇi te sthitāḥ
Those whose mind is established in equanimity have conquered creation here itself. Brahman is faultless and equal; therefore, they are established in Brahman.
Krishna describes those who have conquered creation: their mind (manaḥ) is established (sthitaṁ) in equanimity (sāmye). They have conquered creation (sargaḥ jitaḥ) here itself (iha eva)—meaning they're free from the cycle of birth and death while still in this world. Brahman (brahma) is faultless (nirdoṣam) and equal (samam)—impartial, without preferences. Therefore (tasmāt), they are established (sthitāḥ) in Brahman (brahmaṇi). This means those with equanimous mind have conquered the cycle of creation—they're free from bondage even while living. The key is equanimity—seeing everything equally, without preferences, establishes you in Brahman.
