looks at others as if looking at his own self. Who is never grieved by heat, cold, and (stormy) winds. Who craves for tasting the elixir of yoga that makes one ageless and deathless. Who is never overpowered by attachment and aversion. Who is never sullied by anger, egoism, deceit, and greed. Who is not influenced, who is soul-based, who has abstained from the pleasures of the senses, who has no fascination for his own body even. Who is immersed in the lake of non-attachment. Who is equanimous towards every thing such as friends or foes, gold or sand, praise or censure. Who wishes good to a prince and pauper both, who is compassionate to all and sundry. Who has turned his back against the pleasures of the world. Who is as unshakable as the mountain Meru. Who is as cool as the moon; and who is lonely as the wind.
