Krishna describes the immediate reward for the victory achieved in Verse 6. For the one who has actually conquered the mind (jitātmanaḥ) and achieved profound, unshakeable tranquility (praśāntasya), the Supreme Soul or Absolute is already reached and established within them (paramātmā samāhitaḥ). What does this state look like in the real world? This person maintains absolute equanimity in the face of physical dualities like heat and cold (śītoṣṇa), emotional dualities like joy and sorrow (sukha-duḥkheṣu), and—most difficult of all—social dualities like honor and dishonor (tathā mānāpamānayoḥ).
