HUMAN LIFE: A PILGRIMAGE FOR GROWTH

Desire/Expectation in every relationship

EMOTIONAL STABILITY / “Sthitpragyata”

“Perform action, O Dhananjaya, abandoning attachment, being steadfast in Yoga, and balanced

(equipoise) in success and failure. Evenness of mind (tranquility of mental composure while responding to

any pair of opposites) is called Yoga.”The Bhagvad Gita II/48

Not emotionless, neither sentimental, but the one who is sensitive / aware about his/her own and other’s feelings – who feels feelings and

gives thoughtful / appropriate / mature responses to the situation.
