When a Sadhak’s senses and mind have retrieved themselves from material pleasures his wisdom has become stable.
This shloka of geeta says:
A sadhak whose mind or body is no longer attracted to material world has reached stability of mind and wisdom.
No matter if he is alone at home or working among others, his mind is never indulged in worldly pleasures. His wisdom becomes so strong that his mind ceases to misguide it to worldly pleasures.
As his mind loses interest in worldly pleasures it can never cross his wisdom, which is stable in God.
His mind is completely free from addiction to material world, free from anger, hatred. As the poison tooth of the snake has been plucked his mind can no longer bite and poison his wisdom. It can no longer destroy the sadhak.
The cream of this shloka is the sadhak has to firmly determine that his only goal is God, not luxury or wealth. When his heart/mind is always aware about this goal his wisdom becomes automatically stable.
