Please retain your objective and development oriented stance with national and equanimous approach you earlier had. 🙏

I think you are much more equanimous than you believe you are. I actually thought about you this morning. Random person on social media, but if I had the thought, it’s something. I thought, “this lovely young woman.” That’s it, that’s what I thought. Now I see you mixing life with flowers. Yep, I was right……this lovely young woman.

The less equanimous we are the more we cling to things of no consequence or value. . #Mindfulness #moveforward #growth #awareness #equanimity @JETAR9

Me too. It led me to a mostly equanimous state of mind; but not balanced enough to be okay with mediocrity, and with no desire to chase a social life. Starting to feel like it backfired, and our (mental) wounds don’t need to be healed. Maybe I’m wrong.

An evocative, profound & equanimous plea by @RahulGandhi to India’s opposition leaders - must listen “@INCIndia is fundamentally different from other parties - its built as a resistance movement for a specific ideology, which is what the nation needs now” - superbly articulated!
“The Congress Party’s role as many of you have stated, is to unite all of you together with love and affection.” My speech to the INDIA Alliance leadership on 8th June. youtube.com/watch?v=EorzeIgd…

There’s in an interesting passage in SN 46.54 where the Buddha talks about how to transform loving-kindness into its maximally liberating form, where he describes the practitioner like this: “If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive,’ that’s what they do. If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive,’ that’s what they do. If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive and the repulsive,’ that’s what they do. If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive and the unrepulsive,’ that’s what they do. If they wish: ‘May I meditate staying equanimous, mindful and aware, shunning both the repulsive and the unrepulsive,’” I always find this sutta to be a nice precursor to more Mahayana style emptiness teachings, where the endpoint is total freedom from perceiving either repulsiveness or unrepulsiveness as *inherent* to the object (I do think Theravada teachings lead there too but it’s just a bit more explicitly in Mahayana more often; sometimes Theravada can give the impression that seeing phenomena as having an inherently repulsive aspect is an endpoint). It’s interesting to me that this formulation is laid out specifically with reference to how “the heart’s release by love” is developed. I do think unconditional love (when combined with the awakening factors) is the closest relative analogue to the ultimate viewpoint of nibbana in that when one loves something / someone unconditionally one can perceive all its / their relative good and bad, whilst maintaining a heart of goodwill and openness towards it / them. Moving away from suttas / sutras to my own personal experience, I can say that when I touch the moments of deepest release, although the push/pull dynamics of grasping/resistance subside, the beauty, purity, bliss and love remains but is so omnipresent that there is no impulse to try to chase, contain or possess it (and there is nobody left to grasp or resist it in any case). In the deepest release, there is nothing repulsive (or magnetic) at all about phenomena; it is all just empty, loving, blissful awareness.

Let us become receptive to @SadhguruJV Grace & it is crucial that we remain equanimous irrespective of external situations which could be conducive or challenging, let them be what they are, but we remain a beautiful life is crucial, bow down to @SadhguruJV🙏🙏🙏 @ishafoundation
Whatever the hell someone does, you remain a beautiful life. If you lose that because someone did something, you are a bloody fool. #SadhguruWisdom

Since I began walking in the luminous footsteps of Peter Obi, discerning observers now remark that I have grown perspicacious in thought, equanimous in spirit, magnanimous in disposition, more responsibly anchored, audaciously enterprising, and judiciously frugal with both time and treasure. Peter Obi is no mere politician navigating the corridors of power. He is a living mentor to millions, an architect of character whose quiet example reshapes souls before it rebuilds nations. In him, leadership transcends rhetoric; it becomes transformation. A New Nigeria is POssible.

Re: McInnes leaving Hearts. I thought I'd be furious, but I'll admit to being equanimous about the situation. It's no secret he wants to manage at Ibrox. Also, if rumours are true, he's a reluctant convert to the JTA system. Best to bring in a boss who's fully on board with JTA.
