In the 2nd chapter of the Bhagavadgītā introduces the idea of 'Sthitaprajña' as a person who is self-realized, possessing a stable intellect, and who remains unaffected by attachment-dissatisfaction, joy-pain, aversion, and anger. This research article offers a comparative analysis of the interpretations of verses 2.55 to 2.57 of the Gītā by Śaṃkarācārya and Rāmānujācārya. Śaṃkarācārya focuses on knowledge, detachment, and illusionism rooted in Advaita Vedānta , whereas Rāmānujācārya views devotion, dedication, and divine grace as foundational for self-realization in Viśiṣṭādvaita. Although the perspectives of both Acharyas may vary, their objective remains focused on self-realization and salvation. This article demonstrates that both knowledge and devotion play significant roles in the process of becoming a Sthitaprajña. This research enhances Vedantic discussions and motivates contemporary individuals to attain self-discipline and inner tranquility through the combined path of knowledge and devotion.
