जितात्मनः प्रशान्तस्य परमात्मा समाहितः ।
शीतोश्ण सुख दुःखेषु तथा मान अपमानयोः ॥ ७ ॥

जितात्मनः [jitAtmanaH] Having conquered his mind, प्रशान्तस्य [prazAntasya] a person who is at peace परम [parama] is completely अत्मा समाहितः [atmA samAhitaH] focused on the Self, which has the Lord as the basis for its existence शीतोश्ण सुख दुःखेषु [zItozNa sukha duHkheSu] in situations of cold, heat, comfort, difficulties, तथा मान अपमानयोः [tathA mAna apamAnayoH] during fame and insult too.

Having won over the mind, a person is at peace with his environment. He keeps the Self and the Lord in firm focus, irrespective of the situation – be it cold, heat, comfort, difficulties, while being famous or being insulted. The intentions of such a person do not waver.

Since the Self is realized by such a person in its true form, it is referred to as परमात्म [paramAtma] over here – the complete Self.

By nature, the Self has the Lord as the basis for its existence, and is totally pervaded by the Lord. Considering the previous state of such a person – he had not yet realized the Self in its true form then – we can consider him to know about the superiority of the Self now.

This person is continuously situated in the knowledge of the Self and the Lord.
