Samatvam or equanimity is one of the highest virtues.
Is it easy to be equanimous always?
Are we able to react the same way to both praise and blame?
How about to success and failure?
Surely pleasure and pain aren’t any easier to deal with equanimously.
And fame and disrepute? Impossible!
Lord Rama was said to have a smile the day he ascended to the Ayodhya throne. He was also said to have retained the same smile when he was banished into exile the very next day.
More equanimity? Continued tomorrow…
