EqudlnimitY af temPerIn life we sometimes get what we desire-' Sometimes'** *rrd up having sornething we certainly do not want'But the man wh; has underitood the nature of the,t*u and of the operation of karma is indifferent to-"-r:rthing in this world. He is not overjoyed by someevent, nor moved to sorrow by another. He remainscalrn, whatever experience he has in life.

Naturally, the qlestion now arises whether oneshould nev;; aefilfrt in anythin$. Suppose sgmegttt': ,child has scorea flgl, marks in an examination, shouldshe not b. h;tpy? [r u man loses all his wealth, shouldhe not mour; frir loss? The answer would be thatwhether it is the success of his child in an examination,or loss of wealth- it is all due to past karma'

The success was determined in accordance withkarma and so it came to her child. The loss of wealthwas also pi"-a*termined, because of past karma' So;hy;ho,la ,ne celebrate success or worry over loss?They are the results of one's own actions in previousbirths. Moreover there is nothing that is universallyliked by everyone, said valayapet Ramachariar, in adiscourse.

, 'What one man likes may not be to the taste ofanother. The Same person may also have different

i

.attitudes towards an object or towards another personat different times. Suppose someone dear to us is ill'\Me have -;"Gh affecfio, and regard for the person toi;H; ;br*rJ., if he were to depart from thls world',And yet sometimes we,t\inkthat exit from this worldwould be better for him than ail that suffering. so herewe have the same person responding in two differentways o, t*o diffeient occasions. So our reactions to*oitaly possessions and towards people areimpermanent.

The atmi is undying and its connection to thesuprem* orr. is what we rnust constantly think of,ui*i"g foi moksha. While on this earth, we must facewhatever our karma places in our life with equanimityof temper'
