Living in peace with yourself & others


There are many situations in which we have no control over what happens, no ability to affect the outcome, but no matter what occurs it is possible to stay balanced. Such equanimity gives us strength and a sense of being unshakable in a world that is constantly making demands and creating challenges. We never know what is going to take place or when—nothing is predictable, permanent, secure, controllable, or dependable. Everything is subject to change in every moment. When we are at peace within ourselves we can embrace such change with greater sanity and dignity.

This is the end to which yoga works. Yoga is all about finding & maintaining your equanimty, the balance . . the unchangeable factor that come what may, i will be in my right frame of mind. In the Gita its called Samatvam. Success in life is in knowing nature of things. Freedom is in the fact that no one & nothing can affect my state of being.
