Deliberations with Devdutt
A wise man is calm in fortune and misfortune. He does not separate good times and bad times. He lets go of Sukha, the feeling of joy, and Dukha, the feeling of sorrow.’ These lines on equanimity (Sthithaprajnya) attributed to various sages are often spoken in times of sorrow, when there is a death in the family, when exam results are not quite what we hoped for, when we don’t get that job or that admission. But we rarely mouth these in times of joy, when there is a birth in the family, when we get the results, job and admission we want. These are lines to be spoken at a divorce, not at a marriage.
