To realize the deepest levels of equanimity, we need to let go of all our ideas of what equanimity is, and this is what drops us into the unmoving stillness.
The art of finding balance amidst the extremes of our lives is a rare and precious gift. The poised and balanced heart receives the events of life without being grounded by them.
We seek stability in this ongoing pageant of being where we only find relative stability, maybe. Ultimate stability is found through non-feeding, relinquishing. This holy life is lived to be freed from being. Suffering comes about from clinging; the end of grasping is the end of suffering.
Patience enables us to remain steadfast in the face of adversity and change. One of the noble qualities of mind, patience is the forerunner of compassion.
