This Sanskrit Shlok talks about how great people are always of one mind. They are not fickle-minded. Happiness or distress are both treated in the same way by them. They neither get excited when there is gain, nor are they depressed when there is loss. Such a way of living gives one peace of mind, hence it is recommended to adopt this attitude.

उदय और अस्त दोनों समय सूर्य लाल होता है।
वैसे ही महापुरुष सुख और दुःख में समान रहते हैं॥
