Develop equanimity in success and failure from "summary" of Bhagvat Gita ka Yog (Hindi) by Sri Sri Krishna Prem
The Gita teaches us to remain steadfast in the face of success and failure. It tells us to treat success and failure as the same, and not to be disturbed by them. This equanimity is possible when we understand that both success and failure are temporary and transient. They are part of the dualities of life, which are bound to come and go. Success can lead to pride and arrogance, while failure can lead to despair and depression. But if we remain equanimous, we will not be affected by either. We will not get carried away by success, nor will we be crushed by failure. We will stay balanced and composed in both situations. Equanimity is about maintaining inner peace and stability, regardless of external circumstances. It is about being in control of our emotions and reactions, rather than being controlled by them. When we are equanimous, we are able to face challenges with grace and dignity. We are able to accept success with humility and failure with resilience. The Gita teaches us that true success lies in our ability to remain equanimous in all situations. It is not about the outcomes, but about how we respond to them. By developing equanimity, we can navigate through life's ups and downs with ease and grace. We can live a life of balance and harmony, free from the fluctuations of success and failure.
