What are the qualities of a sthitaprajna?

A sthitaprajna experiences life deeply yet remains untouched by it, seeing pain and pleasure as mere phenomena, not personal possessions. In this clarity, grief dissolves, and the self remains unshaken by the impermanence of the body.

— Osho
According to Osho, a sthitaprajna’s wisdom is steady and unshakable; awareness remains unoccupied, intensely sensitive, and fully present to facts. He feels pain and pleasure clearly yet never personalizes them—no 'my pain,' no clinging—so grief doesn’t arise. Unagitated, he responds appropriately and swiftly. He sees aging and death as impersonal events affecting the body, not the self.

He notices everything clearly but doesn’t make it about “me,” so he stays calm and does what’s needed.
