37. The valiant Sadhakas have dedicated themselves to the
Great Path.
ANNOTATION 37: Non-violence is the path to liberation, It is everywhere, eternal and for everyone. That is why it is a Great Path. All those who have been dedicated to it or will be dedicated to it will attain liberation.
The Great Path also means Kundalini (vitality). An enterprising ascetic, for his sublimation, dedicates himself to this stream of vitality and makes it flow towards his brain through his spinal ehordConsequently his instinct of violence disappears. That conduct which is circumscribed by space and time is a smaller path. Equanimity is not so circumscribed. It can be practised in all space and time. That is why equanimity also is a Great Path.
Equanimity is not a creed. It is Religion in itself. All
se who have attained peace have treaded, are treading and will tread this Great Path. And yet it remains as capacious as ever.
