Chapter 2, v. 51-53
These verses describe the importance of equanimity and detachment in achieving inner peace and freedom from sorrow. Lord Krishna explains that one who is steadfast, remains equanimous in pleasure and pain, and treats them alike, becomes free from the bondage of karma. He further emphasizes that a person who is established in equanimity attains the state of supreme bliss, which is beyond material existence.
