To deal with Equanimity (Gujarati Dadavani July-1998)

In this worldly life it is not things or people that cause bondage, ignorance of Self & attachment-abhorrence are main causes of bondage. How can one become free from this bondage & attain salvation? By attaining Knowledge of Self from a Gnani Purush, ignorance leaves & by following 5 Special Directives of Gnani Purush, attachment-abhorrence also starts leaving. There billions of people in this world but we are not bonded to each & everyone. We indulge into attachment-abhorrence only with our family, extended family, friends, people at work, etc., which must not be more than 1000-2000 people. There is no need to conquer entire world. We should only make sure that whomsoever we meet in this life, we should deal with that person without attachment-abhorrence & with equanimity. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says that we are just supposed to make a firm resolution to settle everything with equanimity. This firm resolution itself will make us settle everything with equanimity.
