CHAPTER 14 Division of The Three Properties समदु:खसुख: स्वस्थ: समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चन:। तुल्यप्रियाप्रियो धीरस्तुल्यनिन्दात्मसंस्तुति: ॥24॥ [ “(And) who, ever dwelling in his Self, views joy, sorrow, earth, stone, and gold as equal, is patient, and evenly regards the pleasant and the unpleasant, slander and praise;...’’ ] मानापमानयोस्तुल्यस्तुल्यो मित्रारिपक्षयो:। सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी गुणातीत: स उच्यते ॥25॥ [ “(And) who puts up with honour and dishonour, as (also) with friend and foe, with equanimity, and who gives up the undertaking of action is said to have transcended all the properties.’’ ] Verses twenty-second to twenty-fifth disclose the attributes of the man who has risen above the three properties so that he is unagitated, unswayed by the properties, and steady. What follows now is clarification of the means by which one is liberated from these properties.
