hurdles which may creep in the way of performance of equanimity Hence, as a careful and vigilant guide he proposes twenty one maxims and three stages of Samatawadi, Samatadhari and Samatadarshi for the followers of equani
mity.
With all these in view, if steps with determination and will are taken, the dream of formation of 'equanimous society' will be realised. It is with this purpose that the book was undertaken for the publication.
The book is now, in the hands of readers. Only they are the real judge for the labour and efforts made for this publication, If it fulfills their expectations to a minimum level we shall feel obliged and our efforts successful. To err is to be human, but we hope our shortcomings would be forgiven by the awakened readers.
Lastly but not leastly, I humbly offer my regards to Acharya Shri Nanesh whose thoughts and life are to enlighten our dark and thorny path of life.
