Bhagavad Gita 2.15
यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ। समदुःखसुखं धीरं सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते॥
yaṁ hi na vyathayantyete puruṣhaṁ puruṣharṣhabha sama-duḥkha-sukhaṁ dhīraṁ so ’mṛitatvāya kalpate
Translation
The man whom these torment not, O chief of men, balanced in pain and pleasure, steadfast, he is fitted for immortality.
What it means
The person whom these dualities cannot disturb, balanced in pleasure and pain, is fit for immortality. Equanimity is not numbness but fitness, the capacity to hold steady long enough for deeper truth to land.
Try this today
Equanimity is presented as a qualification to be trained, not a personality trait you either have or lack.
Something to reflect on
How would I behave if praise and blame weighed the same to me?
