Concept of samatvam or equanimity.

Equanimity is a state where mind is not agitated.Centered,calm composed.

Ask - what takes it away from the center?

For example:

Desires, expectations etc take it away and lead to 2KLM3.

Another area is work - stress anxieties

Decisions we need to take

Loss we deal with

If Samatvam were an anchor /higher level goals from where we launch into a new peak.

It is an important pre-requisite.

How to increase the time we are in equipoise?

Understand Self - the highest level of knowledge

Next lower level is karma yoga.

How KY helps in Samatvam?

- If we are able to convert our actions to desireless actions.

- If we were to transcend that all actions are for a higher goal, then attitude changes.

Desires - Slippery slope:

Attachment, desires...and how to be less bound.

No suppression, but let the desires fall off by itself.

convert binding -> non binding desires

Getting to base camp - samatvam is priority; understanding Self is next.

Body gives those indications of not being in equipoise.
