chapter 5 verse 19.

ihaiva tair jitaḥ sargo
yeṣāḿ sāmye sthitaḿ manaḥ
nirdoṣaḿ hi samaḿ brahma
tasmād brahmaṇi te sthitāḥ
Translation of Bhagavad Gita 5.19
Those whose minds are in a state of undisturbed equilibrium have conquered rebirth even here on earth. The state of Divinity is one of perfect purity and equanimity. those who'es minds are in such a state are therefore in the divine state. 
Desires constitute impurity of the mind. a desireless mind is a pure mind. as long as there are desires the mind is unsteady and vacillating. a desireless or pure mind is steadfast, and is balanced under all circumstances. those who are in such a state are jivanmuktas, god men or liberated souls.
