Kishore

\n

-------

\n

Concept of samatvam or equanimity.

\n

Equanimity is a state where mind is not agitated.Centered,calm composed.

\n

Ask - what takes it away from the center?

\n


\n

For example:

\n

Desires, expectations etc take it away and lead to 2KLM3.

\n

Another area is work - stress anxieties

\n

Decisions we need to take

\n

Loss we deal with

\n


\n

If Samatvam were an anchor /higher level goals from where we launch into a new peak.

\n

It is an important pre-requisite.

\n

How to increase the time we are in equipoise?

\n

Understand Self - the highest level of knowledge

\n

Next lower level is karma yoga.

\n


\n

How KY helps in Samatvam?

\n

- If we are able to convert our actions to desireless actions.

\n

- If we were to transcend that all actions are for a higher goal, then attitude changes.

\n


\n

Desires - Slippery slope:

\n

Attachment, desires...and how to be less bound.

\n

No suppression, but let the desires fall off by itself.

\n

convert binding -> non binding desires

\n


\n

Getting to base camp - samatvam is priority; understanding Self is next.

\n

Body gives those indications of not being in equipoise.
