The light of equanimity flashes when the darkness of egoism or attachment is destroyed by means of contemplation of twelve mental reflections beginning with phenomenal evanescence, propounded by great sages.
22
Anitya-Bhāvanā:-Body, wealth, enjoyments and objects of senses are all liable to destruction. All the phenomenal world is transitory. There is nothing here reliable.
. 23 Asharana-Bhāvana:-When kings, paramount sovereigns, Indras, Jorldly Yogis and lords of the three worlds, are all inevitably doomed to destruction ( are within the reach of death), then whose protection could be resorted to by embodied beings?
. At the time of the maturation of evil Karmic forces, terrible miseries befall embodi. ed beings. None is able to protect them. The goodthe sages are considered to be the refuge only on account of their showing a right path.
