Thought for the day as writen at Prasanthi Nilayam - July 1, 2005

[Guest guest]

There is a tendency to interpret renunciation as merely giving up

worldly attachments. Renunciation truly means attaining perfect

equanimity. People may criticize you or praise you, take them both

with a sense of equanimity. One may try to harm you while another may

try to do you a good turn; treat both situations with equanimity. In

one business venture, you may incur a loss while in another you may

make a profit; treat them both alike. Equanimity is the hallmark of

yoga (spiritual attainment).
