What are the characteristics of a balanced individual?

When a man totally abandons desires of the heart such as sense objects and is content in the self, he is called a Sthitpragya. He is unhurt by adverse situations and treats honor and insult the same. His mind does not hanker for happiness, and does not have fear, attachment or anger. He is not attracted to that which is pleasant or repelled by that which is unpleasant. He detaches his senses from sense object the way the tortoise withdraws its limbs. He is tranquil in heat and cold, pleasure and pain, honor and dishonor and is ever steadfast with the supreme self. He sees action in inaction and inaction in action.
