________________
18 As long as, I am seated in this meditation I shall patiently suffer all calamities that may befall me, be they caused by an animal, a human being, or a God. I renounce, for the duration of this meditation my body, all food and all passions Attachment, aversion, fear, sorrow, joy anxiety, self-pity - all these I abandon with body, mind and speech I further renounce all delight and all repulsion.
Whether it is life or death, whether gain or loss, Whether defeat or victory, whether meeting or
separation Whether friend or enemy, whether pleasure or
pain, I have equanimity towards all. In knowledge, vision and proper conduct, the cause is invariably nothing but my Soul.
