a beautiful verse no.22 from chapter 14
r-bhagavn uvca
prakam ca pravrttim ca
moham eva ca pndava

na nivrttni kksati
udsna-vad sno
gunair yo na viclyate

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O son of Pndu, he who does not hate illumination, attachment and delusion when they are present or long for them when they disappear; who is unwavering and undisturbed through all these reactions of the material qualities, remaining neutral and transcendental, knowing that the modes alone are active; who is situated in the self and regards alike happiness and distress; who looks upon a lump of earth, a stone and a piece of gold with an equal eye; who is equal toward the desirable and the undesirable; who is steady, situated equally well in praise and blame, honor and dishonor; who treats alike both friend and enemy; and who has renounced all material activities " such a person is said to have transcended the modes of nature.
one who doesnt expect light in darkness or fears for darkness ( it may be dark any time) when there is light
one who is not attached to anything or spends life in illusion
one who doesnt hate anything when present or long for it when it dissappears
one who doesnt get affected by the sorrow or joy and stays neutral ( doesnt jump out of joy or break down in sorrow)
one who treats a lump of earth a stone and gold equally
one who is equal towards desirable and undesirabale
one who stays calm when he is praised or blamed, treated with honour or dishonour
one who treats freinds and enemies the same
is said to have gone beyond the range of these materialistic modes of nature
