Equanimity

Every aspect of our being, both internal and environmental is in a continual dynamic influx. To maintain a state of inner peace, we must practice to keep the mind unperturbed and clear. ** The following prayers demonstrate that internal balance. There are those who flatter And there are those who blame; They are acting according to their karmic tendencies. One who keeps the mind balanced And unperturbed by either extreme, That One I admire. I follow in the footsteps of that One.

I am alone in this world; nothing belongs to me and I belong to none. With this awareness, I can be in command of my mind and keep it above self-pity. Though I appear alone, my soul is in immortal company, equipped with infinite energy, knowledge, and perception; everything else is external, they come and leave, due to ever-changing conditions and associations. We can remove our anger By cultivating patience and calmness. We can reduce our egocentrism through Selfless service and humility. We can stop our habit of Deceit and manipulation by trying To be honest and straightforward.
