It is a mixture of good and evil, ups and downs, success and failure.<\/span><span class=\"tx\">When things are favourable we humans feel extremely happy and feel we are on\u00a0the top of the world.<\/span><span class=\"tx\">If something goes wrong then immediately we feel depressed and dejected and even go to the extent of\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">taking one&#8217;s own life. This is the saddening aspect of modern day life and it is really alarming. Very few\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">among us remain undisturbed and keep our\u00a0cool and poise.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"tx\">To explain further about equanimity Lord\u00a0Rama&#8217;s life is the best example. Lord Rama&#8217;s father King Dasharatha offered him the crown.He accepted it with\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">poise.The very next day \u00a0his father\u00a0asked him to renounce everything and go to forest for\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">fourteen years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tx\">This\u00a0did not depress or sadden Lord Rama. Wealth or poverty, profit or loss, success or\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">failure, auspiciousness or inauspiciousness is part and parcel of human life. It is unwise to succumb to these aspects of life.\u00a0Being over\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">elated during happiness and dejected during misery is not a wise approach. We should not feel anger or\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">resentment towards anyone for our problems. Lord\u00a0Rama accepted both commands of his father with\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">equanimity, smiling and looking like a fresh lotus flower in the description given in Kamba Raamayana.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">He never entertained any ill will towards Kaikeyi and took leave of her with due respect. Let us keep our\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"tx\">calmness and tranquility in our journey in the ocean of our birth and reach liberation.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"column-container col-sm-12\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EQUANIMITY IS DIVINITY: In The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 17 Stanza 16) Lord Krishna\u00a0 says serenity of mind, kindness,silence, self control and purity of heart &#8211; this is\u00a0called &#8220;Mental Austerity&#8221;. \u092e\u0928\u0903\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u093e\u0926\u0903 \u0938\u094c\u092e\u094d\u092f\u0924\u094d\u0935\u0902 \u092e\u094c\u0928\u092e\u093e\u0924\u094d\u092e\u0935\u093f\u0928\u093f\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0939\u0903 \u0964 \u092d\u093e\u0935\u0938\u0902\u0936\u0941\u0926\u094d\u0927\u093f\u0930\u093f\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0947\u0924\u0924\u094d\u0924\u092a\u094b \u092e\u093e\u0928\u0938\u092e\u0941\u091a\u094d\u092f\u0924\u0947 \u0965 Mana prasaada sowmyatvam mounamaatma vinigrahaha | Bhaava sanshuddhirityeta tapo maanasamuchyate || Chapter 17.16 Life has many pairs of opposites.
