Krishna's Timeless Counsel in Bhagavad Gita 2.48
श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता २.४८
"योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय।
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते॥"
हे धनञ्जय! आसक्ति को त्यागकर, सफलता और असफलता में समान भाव रखकर अपने कर्म करो। यह समत्व ही योग कहलाता है।
The Architecture of Equanimity
Equanimity does not mean apathy or numbness. It means being like the deep ocean floor: waves may churn frantically on the surface, but the floor remains tranquil and undisturbed.
When praise comes, acknowledge it without inflation. When critique comes, examine it without collapse. This is Samatvam.
