In the Bhagavadgītā, Arjuna asks Śrī Kṛṣṇa -
स्थितप्रज्ञस्य का भाषा। (Gītā 2.54)
to which Śrī Kṛṣṇa recites the characteristics of a person of steady wisdom. What would parroting the characteristics of a realised person bring to us?
Śrī Śaṅkarācārya in his profound Gītā Bhashya clarifies -
सर्वत्रैव हि अध्यात्मशास्त्रे कृतार्थलक्षणानि यानि तान्येव साधनानि उपदिश्यन्ते, यत्नसाध्यत्वात्। यानि यत्नसाध्यानि साधनानि लक्षणानि च भवन्ति तानि।
In all of adhyātma-śāstra (corpus of spiritual literature), the characteristics of a realised personage are taught as a means of attainment to the seeker, as it is possible to attain them with effort. Those which are attainable with effort by the seeker are but innate characteristics of the realised person.
