Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 6
According to the gospel of Gild, 'Equanimity is called Yoga' (2148). One who attains equanimity does not need any other virtue, for God-realization. He becomes wholly virtuous spontaneously, and he conquers the mortal plane (5/19). In Visnu Purina, Prahlada has said, that equanimity is God's adoration (1/17/90).
We make efforts, and follow the spiritual discipline, in order to, become virtuous. But, we do not become virtuous, because we do not renounce evil, altogether and even a fragment of an evil, arouses pride of having virtue, which leads us to several other evils. But when evil are rooted out, we become virtuous,spontaneously. When we become virtuous, we automatically, do good to others. By doing so, all the world provides us the necessities of life, without our asking and without working hard. Thus, we cease our dependence, on the world. This freedom - from dependence, on the world, enables us to attain equanimity, which is axiomatic and then we have nothing to do, we become liberated souls. |
